The Morrisons

 

         Landithy Hall Madron Cornwall UK Saturday 7 October 2006

This is the new web site from Torquay's finest independent band The Morrisons. Originally formed in 1986 and part of the C86 set of bands following endorsement by John Peel in 1987 and Johnny Dee via his Especially Yellow fanzine and the release of the Storm EP on Brighton's Playroom Discs all later the same year.

The band split in 1988 but following interest and a couple of CD releases on Firestation Records the band re-formed in 2004 and with the release of new CD album Psycho Surfin' last year on The Golden Pathway the band have demonstrated that they can still write and play a mean pop tune.

A quick thank you to the 3300 plus of you who visited our old web site. Hopefully this new one will allow us to up date and keep the flow of information and downloads coming thick and fast.

We thought we could release it last year but it did'nt quite happen but if all goes well there should be a new Morrisons album later this year called "Listen To The Morrisons" featuring songs written and recorded during 2007.

The wonderful people at Eggnog Records will be putting this out for us and you can check them out and place your advance order by clicking on the link below!!

We have a track "You Can Never Be Happy" on the latest (volume 4) compilation release from Series Two Records. This 4 CD set features over 90 bands and over 300 minutes of indie guitar pop phew!! It's available from www.myspace.com/seriestworecords. Well worth your hard earned cash.

We have now started putting some videos on Youtube. There is some old 1980's stuff plus some newer live performances. Check it out at: -

Enjoy.................................................

Just pause for a few seconds and you should hear Closing Time. This is a song written and recorded last year and appears on our new album Electricar. Much to Ian Morrisons's initial disappointment the lyrics do not lament the end of a drinking session at the pub! We will use this home page to preview some of our latest songs so remember to come back soon.
