The Coral was formed in 1996 in Hoylake in Merseyside and is signed on to the Liverpool label Deltasonic. Their distinctive musical style is a mixture of psychadelic folk with modern rock, which has influenced many other Deltasonic acts such as the Zutons, The Dead 60s and The Rascals.The band members are:
- James Skelly - vocals, guitar
- Paul Duffy - guitar
- Nick Power - keyboards
- Lee Southall - bass
- Ian Skelly - drums
- Bill Ryder-Jones - guitar (1996 - 2008)
Many of their promo pictures are in black and white, showing the band in dark clothing, usually coats, looking straight to the camera. This gives the impression that they are a more mature band that takes their music seriously.
'In The Morning' is
part of The Coral's fourth album 'The Invisible Invasion', which was released in May 2005.'In The Morning' reached number six in the UK singles charts, and it was the second most played song on UK radio that year. This song is considered to be under the genre of Indie Pop.

This is a nice intro to the band and gives us a little insight as well as some analysis. It is good to see you using lots of different types of media at this stage.
