Giant Killers - Songs For The Small Places


 
 
GIANT KILLERS
Songs For The Small Places
2024 Little Genius Recordings
 
Notes :
Band formed in 1995 by Jamie Wortley and Michael Brown, ex-members of  early 90's UK indie rock band Illustrious GY. They were signed to MCA Records in 1996 and released two singles ''In The End'' and ''Time Of Our Lives''. Debut album was recorded but it was never released because band was dropped by the label.
Finally, 28 years later debut album titled ''Songs For The Small Places'' is released by the band.
Highly recommended, one of the best records i've heard lately, fantastic indie pop album from start to finish, all these years waiting, worth it.
I'm still looking for their CD singles ''Time Of Our Lives'' and ''Album Sampler'', both released in 1996.
Two songs from ''Album Sampler'' are not includded on this official release and will be great to have them. If anyone can help, leave comment or send email.

Illustrious - Dreaming 7''




ILLUSTRIOUS
Dreaming
1991 Hypergroove

Notes :
Debut single for Illustrious GY, baggy influenced "Dreaming" from 1991, at this period they called themselves only as Illustrious.
Illustrious GY. was a early 90's indie band from Grimsby/UK, best known for their hit single '20 Questions (No No No)'. They signed a major record contract with Arista/BMG in 1991 and released three singles and one album in 1993.

After Illustrious GY, vocalist Jamie Wortley and keyboard player Michael Brown formed another band called Giant Killers and released two singles ''Time Of Our Lives'' and ''In The End'', both in 1995 for MCA Records. Also they released CD single in 1996 called ''Album Sampler'' but apparently album was never released because there is no info on Discogs.
There is video on youtube for ''Time Of Our Lives'' and it sounds great.
If anyone have copy of Giant Killers singles please contact me or leave comment.
