Rabs Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 So the other day I was Youtubing and came across a tune I hadnt heard in years.. Its by a band called Gomez who had a massive hit album in the 90s with the album Bring it On which apparently was recorded in one of the band members garages with an old analogue 4 track recorder in Manchester. Its such a great album, one of the main singers is reminiscent of Eddie Vedder and the music is nice and chilled. I think this band suffered the dreaded second album syndrome where they are under such pressure to reproduce the success of the first and never really get anywhere after that. i think they still play and did release a couple more albums. But this one was just brilliant. Did they ever make it to the US? See what you think :) I think this was their biggest hit.. I think this one made the charts on this track you really get to hear that voice.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I've got it. It came out in '98. I bought it after seeing them on (I believe) Later With Jools Holland. The track which always seemed to get air-play as far as I can remember was 'Get Myself Arrested'. My fave from the LP is 'Tijuana Lady' but I can only listen to the disc when the wife is out; she absolutely HATES the vocals... Here's their Wiki entry for anyone interested; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomez_%28band%29 P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
