Gomez

Recently replayed Bring It On and realised I should have taken more notice first time around a a few years ago

Good music well crafted and very well recorded and engineered.
This allows your system to stretch it's legs a lot

I bought Liquid Skin at the same time and that isn't as good.
Must be why I moved on without any more buys

Bought Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline a couple of weeks back.
That is almost as good and yesterday I ordered In our gun

A group well worth a look over

I'm taking more notice of Allmusic's star ratings for albums as this seems often to coincide with mine

Check out the solo stuff from them as well. 'Shapes and shadows' is good.

Ooh ta
Which guys ?

Ben Ottewell, the husky-voiced one. Gomez were a decent outfit; In Our Gun is a strong album.

I'm trying to work out who they remind me of
Slightly like John Martyn vocals, but someone else or a mix

They've gone in a slightly less rootsy direction now. Still good though

Softened and closer to MOR.

Seeing other videos I was surprised how young and chirpy they were.
Assumed they were at least 10 years older and well used from the music I heard

Yup, Ben Ottewell (the husky voiced chap) doesn't look at all like he sounds!

You kind of expect him to look like
