The Coral

Scouse six piece indie poppers

“At it’s roots, it’s more than meets the eye”, Sixties troubadour Dion once said of his 1962 hit ‘The Wanderer’. As six inconspicuous mop-haired lads from Liverpool fidget side by side over a sparkling afternoon over Camden lock, this much seems obvious. As the click of the camera demands more than just a fading glance from each figure standing (some decidedly, some casually propped up against the backdrop) over the make-shift bridge, wandering pedestrians pass after each framed shot, running towards safe passage over on the other side, yet indifferent to the commotion. Observing all six men, uncomfortably manoeuvred into a Usual Suspects inspired line-up, the attention is pulled downwards towards each member’s suede moccasin shoes. Each differing slightly in colour, yet each pair endearingly matched to the next. Members
