Car manufacture, classic TV sitcoms, international football,
unique chocolates and sweets, aircraft and railways. All these
things once put the great in Britain.
In recent interviews, The Chevin frontman and vocalist
extraordinaire Coyle Girelli admits he has been saddened by the
demise in recent years of another attribute in which the UK once
led the world. “The art of writing a song and making an album has
gone out of fashion for some reason”.
Easy to make such statements but The Chevin are actually doing
something to ring some changes for an industry where chorus,
melody and big tunes are in very short supply.
New release Blue Eyes is a masterful tour-de-force of the
songwriter’s art, a sonic cathedral of sound that offers up a prayer
of hope and salvation to an industry in need of change and a public
hungry for a return to older but better ways. With Radio 2 already
picking up on the track a month before release this could be the
song that finally delivers the soundtrack of Summer 2012, blowing
away the Atlantic depressions of bland identikit pop.

Backing this assault on their attempt to recapture the higher
ground, the group will appear at T In The Park and Bingley Live
Music Festival followed by a coast to coast US appearance on Late
Show With David Letterman.
Blue Eyes will be released on 6th August 2012.
