We are honoured to feature The Suncharms playlist today, an indie/shoegaze band from Sheffield composed of Marcus Palmer on Vocals, Matt Neale on Guitar, John Malone on Guitar, Richard Farnell on Bass, and Chris Ridley on Drums.
Formed in 1989, they were inspired by indie and pop, and within a year, they were supporting bands like Curve, Catherine Wheel, and Cranes. With two successful EP releases in 1991, followed by a Peel session early in 1992, it seemed like the band was poised for success. Sadly, they played their last gig in 1993, but fortunately for us, they reunited in 2021.
We are thrilled to have caught the attention of Marcus, who curated a fantastic playlist of his influences and favourites. The first track, "Things Lost," is from their latest album released in December 2023.
Enjoy!
