The Bluetones filled the gap that the Stone Roses left behind, providing graceful
but muscular guitar pop with slightly psychedelic overtones. The band appeared
during the waning days of Brit-pop, which guaranteed them a considerable amount
of press coverage that helped their debut album rocket to the top of the charts
upon its release in early 1996.
Originally called the Bottlegarden, the Bluetones formed in Hounslow, England
in 1994. The group consisted of guitarist Adam Devlin, drummer Ed Chester,
vocalist Mark Morris, and his brother Scott, who played bass. All of the members
had previously played in local bands before forming the Bluetones. During 1995,
the group released two singles, "Are You Blue or Are You Blind?" and "Bluetonic,"
on their Superior Quality Recordings label, which received positive reviews in
the British music weeklies. By the fall of 1995, they were being touted as the
next big thing in Brit-pop, since their sound fell halfway between the Stone
Roses and Oasis. Early in 1996, the group released "Slight Return" which shot to
number two a month before their debut album, Expecting to Fly, was released.
Expecting to Fly was greeted with mixed reviews, but it debuted at number one on
the British charts and became a sizable hit. Despite their British success, the
group had trouble breaking America. Furthermore, they were the subject of a quick
backlash, as many critics believed the group embodied the conservatism of
Brit-pop ù the non-LP single "Marblehead Johnson" was welcomed cooly upon its
fall release, and it only dented the charts. During early 1997, the Bluetones
began working on their second album, Return to the Last Chance Saloon; Science
& Nature followed in mid-2000. Stephen Thomas Erlewine[AMG]
