about
Formed in London in 2003 by Stephen Carey (formerly of Ireland's This Burning Effigy) together with vocalist John Stone (former manager of bands such as Vendemmian and Complicity). After an initial flurry of activity during which the band supported bands such as Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and All About Eve, they decided to cocoon themselves in the studio to write and record their first album, with Lee-Anne Burgess joining them on bass in 2006. Owing to Steve's other musical commitments ( NFD, Eden House ) this was a lengthy process. In September 2008 the 3 piece finally released their long awaited debut studio album 'Sleepwalking', which was well received by the UK press. 'Kerrang!' magazine "Having spent nearly five years honing their art before introducing it to a studio you'd expect Adoration to be the complete article and you'd certainly not be disappointed. This is rich, mesmerising music to catch your attention in quieter moments. Possessed of immense depth, it's full of texture and quality, amounting to a genuine beauty that is born of fine songwriting and attention to detail. Each of the nine tracks brings a new focus, 'Slowmotion' a whirling merry-go-round that contrasts with the enchanting 'Same As It Ever Was', a song that pulses on a teetering, unforgettable hook. Allow these deathlike lullabies to take you on a trip." - Steve Beebee 'Total Guitar' magazine "Miss the ice-cold metal of the Sisters Of Mercy and The Mission? Your next best bet is Adoration.
