Good track, fantastic album.
If anything better than Catherine Wheel ever came out of Yarmouth/Lowestoft, I don’t know what it is.
Loved CW! Adam and Eve is my favorite album if theirs but I enjoyed all their stuff.
I keep wishing for a reunion but realize that ship has sailed, then burned, and finally sunk. Sad
Dang, this under thirteen blankets, a pallet, a futon, and a washing machine in my brain. Maybe listened to this twice in my life, once in 1999, and again without realizing in 2013 on deep cut radio really late
Thanks, you’ve reminded me to go search for the song I had on tape from a Peel session… it was She’s My Friend from 1991 and it’s still great. Anyone who likes Ride/Swervedriver, get on it.
Had these guys on repeat back in the day. Pretty unique sound. Masters of melodic + bombastic.
Newbs to CW, “Waydown” will blow your mind. Also, “Crank,” “Black Metallic,” “Sparks Are Gonna Fly,” “Gasoline”
I know it’s probably their most popular songs, but damn I love me some Black Metallic
Criminally obscure band, but one of my favorites
that’s a band I haven’t heard in a long time. they got a lot of airplay on indie radio back in the 90s
I saw them live in San Diego. I was happily amazed how “metal” they sounded live. I was convinced they were starting a gang war with Swervedriver.
Catherine Wheel is awesome.
Frontman Rob Dickinson started Singer Porsche which is equally awesome.
Thank you for posting this. I love this band and this album so much! They don’t get enough recognition.
This song has been on my “I’m sad, so very sad” playlist for ages. The lyrics are spot on perfect for cathartic release. Thanks for mentioning it here. It really is a favorite.
Cool band. Discovered them in 96? Thought they were a bit ahead of their time.
Have em in my AM library. Gasoline is 🔥
Chrome is one of my fav albums of all time, but I’ve listened to all of their albums countless times!
I walked into a record store when Ferment came out and they were blasting Black Metallic. The dude that ran the place was a caricature of a hippie/70s rocker and kept calling it “the ‘stairway to heaven’ of the 90s”.
I have been listening since this dropped… love Catherine wheel
Great band, some of their stuff including this reminds me of Talk Talk. A lot of it is heavier / higher energy though. Thanks for posting and reminding me of them!
I try not to burn myself out on Chrome so I do my best to forget about it, less a week or two every so often when I’m *obsessed.* I wish more people celebrated CW, and this album in particular. Strong album with great singles. “Crank” should’ve been huge!
Thank you for reminding me! I’ll be sharing this with my 3-month old tomorrow!
Future Boy is a great one. One of my favorite songs of all time.
Catherine Wheel are my fav band and fall under Shoegaze
Chrome, Ferment, like Cats and Dogs are def shoegaze. Then, unlike most bands, they got harder with their next releases Happy Days, Adam & Eve, and finally Wishville
If you like the sound of this and want to investigate the band that inspired this song’s title check out mid 70s era King Crimson. In particular the album “Starless and Bible Black”.
Catherine Wheel is so good! Goodness, there’s something about early 90’s shoegaze that hits differnent, maaaaaaaaan….
This album is incredible
Saw CW open for Cowboy Junkies in 1993 in upstate New York. They blew me away. Up front in a small club and when Black Metallic played I was hooked. Listened to them regularly for another decade and one of my favorite bands of the 90s. I still run to Show Me Mary all the time.
this was one of my fav albums back in the day
Favorite band, favorite album for me, always takes me to another place.
One of my favorite albums ever. Saw them live about 10 times, and Rob solo a few. This album is as good as anything else that came out in the 90s.
I discovered this band in 1993 while walking to class at UCLA and they were just playing a free show outside the student union. It was right when this album came out and after missing class to watch the band I picked up this CD and became a fan. I remember they did a Pink Floyd cover of Wish You Were Here. I’ll have to listen to this one again for sure.
