Yet another one of those indie rock bands arrived in the summer of 2007 named Cherry Ghost and fronted by Bolton resident Simon Aldred, who could have attempted a career as a singer/songwriter but preferred to immerse himself in a band format. Thirst for Romance could have been an album by Richard Ashcroft, except Aldred didn't quite possess that nasal vocal quality, or an album by Coldplay, but he also lacked the range, or by Badly Drawn Boy or Embrace, and the track "Roses" even had a sort of Neil Young feel to it. That was not to say that it was a bad album, but it wasn't sure whether it wanted to be an uplifting album as per the first two tracks, the title track, and "4AM," or depressing like most of the rest of the songs with observations on gritty life in the north typified by the song "False Alarm" and its often repeated line "I'm gonna drag you down with me." There are exceptions to the depression, as "Alfred the Great" sounded like a '70s rock track, and rather out of context with the rest of the material was "Mary on the Mend," a slow chugger that took nearly eight minutes to play out. Aldred co-produced the album with Dan Austin who had also worked with Massive Attack. Thirst for Romance hit number seven in its first week, showing that there was a reasonable market for this type of angst, but within six weeks it had vanished from the chart entirely. ~ Sharon Mawer

The eagerly awaited 2007 debut album from Cherry Ghost. Although many acts on the scene try to align themselves with the latest musical trends, Cherry Ghost have created a timeless album that is definitely rooted in the present but sounds like it could have been released anytime in the last 25 years. Their intelligent songwriting and melancholy approach will appeal to fans of Belle & Sebastian, Morrissey, The Beautiful South and others. 11 tracks including the singles 'Mathematics' and 'People Help The People'. EMI.

Recording information: Ape Studios, Little Neston; Moolah Rouge Studios, Stockport, England.

Personnel: Simon Aldred (vocals, acoustic guitar); Jim Rhodes (guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Belinda Hammond, Margaret Miller , Sarah Fletcher (violin); Edgar Jones, Ollie Collins, Jr. (bass guitar); Grenville Harrop, Jimi Goodwin (drums).

Q (Magazine) (p.84) - Ranked #14 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2007" -- "Heavy on strings and emotion, his songs also proved to have a winning pop touch..."

Almost three years after the Arcade Fire's 2004 full-length debut, FUNERAL, stunned indie-rock fans with its majestic scope and romantic ferocity, the Montreal-based ensemble returned with NEON BIBLE. Although the album lacks the from-out-of-nowhere punch of the former record, it serves as a fitting successor, with the group's sweeping sound enhanced by even more ...

Just as Todd Haynes's Bob Dylan biopic I'M NOT THERE takes an unusual approach by having several different people portraying the artist, so the accompanying soundtrack skirts expectations by sporting a wide variety of artists tackling the Dylan catalog, and including a wealth of lesser-known Dylan tunes.

Tastes Like
Jekkel Tastes Like CD  (2004)

Thirst For Romance songs
CD $16.45
Jekkel's latest CD "Tastes like" is their best material to date. The songwriting skills of the band have greatly improved as evidenced in their third album. Having reorded this album on their own, Jekkel creatively controlled the entire album as to best replicate their music through their own artistic descisions, and it shows. "Tastes like" has been claimed to be the band's "best music" and to "have a very personal feel, there's much more energy and passion involved". Louder, Faster, and oh so much tastier.

/ Jim: The fun loving, guitar flailing, stage jumping heart throb. Katie: The sexy but cute, crazy head and stick throwing drum marvel. Laramie: The HOTT and cool, laidback, ass kicking bass player.

It all began as a quest to compete in the middle school talent show and ended up being a full-time passion. In the fall of 1998 Katie, who had been drumming since the womb joined forces with her newly guitar playing brother, Jim Cathcart. Realizing that two was simply not enough they picked up their childhood friend, a young chick guitarist with the greatest shared love for Green Day they had ever seen. Laramie Hancock, who was originally a second guitarist, quickly became the Mike Dirnt of the trio. Set forth by their mutual love of music the band was thus instilled into the lives of the three individuals.

Since then, JeKKeL has recorded three independent CD's ("Losergeek" 2001, "Ping Pong Warriors" 2002, and "Tastes Like" 2004) and recently finished recording a new 5 Track Demo featuring what they consider to be their best material to date. While this is a great step for the band and shows much progress ...
