Bio:
With a sound that harks back to the 70's heyday of The Faces, Stones, Slade and Mott The Hoople, The Quireboy's have always remained true to their roots from the start. The boy's mission is simply to keep the spirit of good time rock ‘n’ roll alive and kicking into the 21st century.The Quireboys are an English hard rock band formed in 1984 in London, England, with strong ties to Newcastle. When the band formed they were originally known as The Queerboys and later as the London Quireboys in the United States, settling at last with their current name.The band were successful during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with their debut album A Bit of What You Fancy reaching No. 2 on the UK charts. Known as "Britain's answer to Poison" their highest charting single for the band was with the song "Hey You".In 1993, the Quireboys broke up but briefly reformed live in 1995 with different members. A more permanent reformation came in 2001 when frontman Spike, guitarist Guy Griffin and bassist Nigel Mogg put together a new line-up. The band is still active, recording new material and playing live.
Album:
Cherry Red / Lemon Recordings are releasing “Hey You! The Parlophone Years 1989-1993“, a 4-disc CD Box Set exploring the first, hugely successful phase of QUIREBOYS‘ career while in the Parlophone label roster.Emerging out of the mid-late 80s London rock and sleaze scenes, Quireboys took their party-friendly booze ‘n blues earworms to the world’s charts and concert arenas during the late 80s and early 90s.Fronted by the instantly recognizable Spike, the band scored countless Top 40 hits in the UK and beyond, including the UK #2 album ‘A Bit Of What You Fancy’. Along they way, they became a must-see band – their live shows propelled by well-oiled musicianship and a blend of singalong anthems and heartbreaking romantic ballads, culminated in a New Year’s Eve performance in front of an estimated 50,000 in Tokyo.“Hey You! The Parlophone Years 1989-1993” is a time capsule capturing Quireboys both in the studio and on stage, including rare B-sides and oft-overlooked demos and live versions of hit singles and fan favorites.This 4-CD box set tells a story of the ebb and flow of success, presenting the hit ‘A Bit Of What You Fancy’ alongside it’s follow- up, ‘Bitter Sweet & Twisted’, which saw the band resurface after an unexpectedly lengthy layoff to find a changed musical landscape, which eventually proved unnavigable, leading to a break-up and a hiatus of almost a decade.A must for those who were there, fans of the hits and looking for worthwhile rarities, and those with a taste for gloriously sleazy rock ‘n roll.
