Genre: Rock
Cherry Ghost are an indie rock band from Bolton, England. Their debut album, Thirst for Romance, was released in July 2007 and entered the UK Album Charts at #7. A second album, entitled Beneath This Burning Shoreline, was released in July 2010 to positive critical acclaim.
The name "Cherry Ghost" is a reference to the Wilco song "Theologians" from the album A Ghost Is Born. Cherry Ghost began in 2005, first as an alias for Simon Aldred as a solo artist, before morphing into a full band. Early sessions with Doves bassist and vocalist Jimi Goodwin and a special appearance on Later...with Jools Holland helped excel the band's beginnings.
