Soaring vocals, classic songwriting, irresistible melodies and phenomenal playing make Midlands-based quintet CoralSpin one of the best new bands in the country.

Latest news Recording starts! We've finally got the recording of our first album underway, and we've had the champagne out to celebrate. The drum recordings sound fantastic, making all the work on acoustic treatment for our little project studio worth it. We've got a lot of killer songs, and now we'll have a killer sound on record to match them. Here's a clip of David playing his monstrous kit during a recent recording session: Video of Dave playing Sky's End goes here. What we're doing, February 2008: Good news -- Scott has finished building our new studio computer. We did a quick and dirty recording of last week's rehearsal, and everything was working fine. Here's one of these tracks, Sky's End -- the sound quality is rough, but it gives you a feel of what we're up to: We've also put the finishing touches on our acoustic treatment, so we're all set up ready to start recording some new tracks. We're all champing at the bit to get on with it. The band is playing up a storm, and these recordings are going to be something else! The first step will be to lay down some drum tracks, and that means David taking his practice kit out of the studio and bringing in his magnificent beast of a main kit. Steve in the studio. State of play, January 2008: Various components on our studio computer all died at once over Xmas, so we've taken the opportunity to put together the specs for a new QuadCore machine, which should be up and running ready for recording soon. We haven't been able to rehearse much recently, but the good news is that every rehearsal we've done has been brilliant! Mick Pointer and friends -- Script for a Jester's Tour: Steve's friend Mick Pointer, ex-drummer with Marillion, has asked us to bring your attention to his 25th anniversary Script for a Jester's Tear tour in Germany this April.
