The Morrisons

The Morrisons are from Torquay Devon and were originally formed in 1986 by Phil Andrews and Ian Churchward. In 1987 John Peel played their debut flexi single Listen To Your Heart several times on his show. Following this exposure Johnny Dee gave away a limited run of 400 of the flexi's with his Brighton based music fanzine Especially Yellow and later that year they recorded the Storm EP for Brighton’s Playroom Discs. Live show's included sets with McCarthy and The Groove Farm. The band split in 1988.

Spurred on by the 2003 inclusion of Listen To Your Heart on the Sound Of Leamington Spa compilation CD on Firestation Records (available mail order from www.firestation-records.de) the band re-formed and in 2004 Firestation Records also released the CD Songs From The South Of England which was a compilation of the bands demo's 1986 - 1988.

The album Psycho Surfin’ was released in 2005 on The Golden Pathway label (available mail order from www.goldenpathway.co.uk) and features 12 new Morrisons songs recorded during 2004.

The album Electricar was released in 2007 featuring 15 new Morrisons songs recorded in 2006 along with Brighter Days which is a bootleg of demo's and live recordings from 1986 to 1988 both on The Golden Pathway label.

Also released in 2007 is the three track CD single Looking For Jeanie which is available from US indie label Cloudberry Records (available mail order from www.cloudberryrecords.com).

The band are currently rehearsing and recording new material and preparing for more gigs and a further CD album release of new material later in 2008 called Listen To The Morrisons hopefully with the wonderful people at The Golden Pathway.
