Bandgeschichte

Die Band startete ursprünglich als The Bottlegarden, noch ohne den späteren Schlagzeuger Eds Chesters (Edward Daniel Chesters). Eds spielte zuvor bei den Bands Puppy Dogs From Hell, Brando und Soho.[2]

Bei den 1994 gegründeten The Bluetones war Mark Morriss der Leadsänger, sein jüngerer Bruder Scott Morriss war als Bassist beteiligt. Weiterhin spielte der Gitarrist Adam Devlin und der Schlagzeuger Eds Chesters mit. Ihr größter Hit war 1996 der Song "Slight Return" vom ersten Studioalbum "Expecting To Fly". Der Song erreichte Platz 2 der britischen Single-Charts. Das letzte Studioalbum "A New Athens" wurde im Mai 2010 veröffentlicht. Im März 2011 hat die Band ihre Auflösung bekanntgegeben. Nach ihrer Abschiedstour im September 2011 löste sich die Band nach 17 Jahren und sechs Studioalben auf.[3]
