Children Of Mercy

A worthy cause and great record in aid of Cystic Fibrosis charity. There is also a great accompanying book.

Get Your Feet Back On The Ground (ep)
by Grabbel and The Final Cut
supported by 6 fans who also own “Touch”
What an amazing band that fortunately is finally getting their due! Mix in some JAMC, fuzzy riffs of Teenage Fanclub, anthemic songs that sound like the Cure but without the overwhelming angst, combined with The Pains of Being Pure At Heart (who came after!), and you have a sound that not only works, but succeeds immensely. Thank you, Captured Tracks, for unearthing this amazing band for our aural pleasure!
