TOM HINGLEY AND THE LOVERS...a band that have been together for 5 years, The Lovers is the brainchild of Tom Hingley, lead singer of Inspiral Carpets, a band whom, along with The Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses defined everything that was good about the UK music scene at the beginning of the 1990s. Despite, or perhaps because of, over twenty top 40 hits, seven Top of the Pops appearances, a rock solid fan-base and successful tours all over the world, the Inspirals ran out of steam in 1995 and Hingley drifted into solo projects on the fringes of the pop mainstream. However, a chance encounter in 2001 with Steve Hanley former bassist and longest serving musician with legendary Manchester band, The Fall, led Hingley and Hanley to join forces in The Lovers. Despite kids, mortgages and the onset of 40, both still shared an intense passion and desire to make, perform and record great music.And so it was, with the addition of Steve's kid brother/former Fall drummer Paul Hanley, Farfisa/Hammond player Kelly Wood and ex This Gigantic World guitar maestro Jason Brown, that The Lovers started writing and recording their debut album, aBba aRe tHe eNemY, eventually released in 2004. Many album sales and gigs later, The Lovers have now begun writing and recording their next album. The, as yet untitled, second album promises to be everything that aBba aRe tHe eNemy was and everything that it wasn't. The dynamicism is still there, as is the fiercely strong drive behind the band, but this album also proffers melodic bliss, sentimentality and more that its fair share of catchy pop songs. The mood is high, the songs are happy and the lyrics are, as ever, thought-provoking, if not slightly controversial... |
