Heard a track from a band called the Corals.
Have anyone heard much of there stuff they are from scouseland are they any good.

DNever listened to themmyself but they were at the leadmill not that long ago

the coral have been around for ages where have you been?!

you need to hear 'dreaming of you' it's their best in my opinion

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure they're of Scouse origin... They've released 2 albums and they specialise in what i'd call happy tap-your-feet-and-sing-along-rock/indie kind of stuff with a retro feel!! They're definately playing Leeds/Reading this year, and I think played Glastonbury last year so they're not a "new" band - been around for about 2years I think.

I have both albums and can think of nothing finer to listen to when lazing in my garden on a sunny afternoon!!! probably a website somewhere online as they're signed to a big label (I think) and have a massive fan-base, particularly where I'm from originally near Manchester.

I am a very old DJ gave up listening to music all that much picked up the track from the Northern Soul show on Radio Stoke tonight.

If you enjoyed the track, I'd recomment you buy one of their albums - either will do. Like I said the tunes are very samey, yet different and catchy at the same time.

Yes the Coral are from Liverpool, and they have played in sheffield 2 or 3 times over the last couple of years since they have enjoyed national success.
They have an interesting aproach to music with lots of backing vocals and a kind of folksy sound. One Dj on the radio comlained that they sounded like shawaddywaddy, because one of their songs resembled a shawad song, but that is an unfair comparison.
They burst onto the scene a few years ago with their excellent set at glastonbury.

I saw them at the Leadmill a few weeks ago. Good set, but the Arctic Monkeys were supporting so I was also excited about that! Their first album is good if you're looking for more. I don't rate their new single all that highly - probably the one you heard. I agree about Dreaming Of You - class song, good alternative floorfiller!

PS - it's The Coral, not The Corals, for clarity :thumbsup:

I first heard them on Top of the Pops a couple of years ago, the most mind-blowing performance I've ever seen on ToTP. Hard to believe that at the time the average age of the band was about 18, especially given the clever blend of Nuggets-psychedelia and Captain Beefheart-type stuff they were playing. They're an incredible band, although some of their stuff can sound a bit samey at times and their age does show in some of their rather trite lyrics.

Great band, but I think you'll find that they don't like people thinking that they're from liverpool. From the wirral as far as I know. Hoylake infact. A very nice part of the Wirral that's closer to wales than Liverpool.

Heard the first albums not initially impressed but I am sure they will grow on me.
