great mini-album right there

it sounds like he is singing 'corncrake' during the chorus of crank. i wish he was

ohhh 'broken head' yeah i love this one, always have. that chorus! wish the whole album brought it like this but it's been fun so far

would boldly state that on 'adam and eve', more or less every track has a melodic hook more or less up there with this one

I met Rob once, top bloke, very down to earth.

There's an acoustic EP that includes "The Nude". Stunning.

They were an excellent and prolific B- sides band.

ok "corncrake" just made me actual lol

"Corncrake"? The Wicker Man?

"call me crank"

what

i think about this post whenever i listen to "Crank"

mmmm corncrake

:D

i posted in the thread almost 12 years ago? it has been a wild ride and maybe i need to move on too?

have not thought about Catherine Wheel in a very long time. i think i saw them four time total. they were great live.

It's interesting how pretty much all the original shoegaze crew as such has hit the reunion phase but this bunch didn't. (Other non-returnees off the top of my head: Boo Radleys, Pale Saints.) And yes granted CW weren't exactly shoegaze but they were of that generation, had a greater amount of success over here at the time compared to a lot of them, etc.

Ferment is getting a vinyl reissue at the end of June. hope Chrome follows suit quickly thereafter...

My favorite Catherine wheel is the one-two punch of "strange fruit" and "chrome"

and then "the nude" so it's really like three punches

re: the first punch, no song has ever punched me more

and now CHROME is getting a proper reissue via Music on Vinyl in September!

So…something’s up

There's never been expanded reissues, and lord knows there's material aplenty...

New material would be welcome, of course, if a bit trepidatious about the potential.

Seems like it was just announcement of Adam and Eve streaming (hadn't realize it hadn't been?)

Well, specific dates in this one.

What does this mean? Is there new stuff or is this for reissues? I would like to see them live again as it was always great. I think I saw them around seven times.

Guess we'll find out! After last year's tease that wasn't much, I'm suspicious, but the fact that there are two dates mentioned is intriguing.

probably the only band I'd spend all my money and fly anywhere to see

maybe they can hire a graphic designer with it

lol
