Sheffield's The Suncharms played a brand of indie guitar pop that was sometimes fast and thrashy, but at other times moodily atmospheric. They released two 12" singles on Wilde Club (the tiny label which launched the career of the Catherine Wheel). Their appearance at Sheffield Sound City (organised by Radio One) in 1993 was the last thing they did. Although there was no official split, the group didn't do anything after that event. .
There can be few modern bands that could tempt a legendary producer like Shel Talmy, (the man who produced some of the greatest hits of the 1960s and 70s, among them The Who's "My Generation" and The Kinks' "You Really Got Me") out of semi-retirement to work with them, just as there can be few modern bands who would manage to prompt no less than The Kinks' Dave Davies onto Twitter in vocal admiration of them quite so early in their career.
They sound both thrillingly new and yet drenched in musical history, a serendipitously assembled garage rock outfit chock...
There are 2 bands of the same name:
1) The term Rock n Roll comes from the ghetto slang, meaning sex, in the back of an automobile, hence, rock n roll.

This cast is...
