New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Romo PR) -
Cornershop will release "Judy Sucks A Lemon For Breakfast" on April 20, 2010 in North America through their label, Ample Play. Released in the UK and
Europe this past summer to critics' delight, this is the follow up to 2002's critically acclaimed "Handcream For A Generation." North American tour dates are planned for this fall. Listen to the album here: http://cornershop.com/shop.html
The heavy-duty anthem, 'Who Fingered Rock'n'Roll,' launches the album and reflects the changes in the music industry, something this British institution knows something about. The track 'The Roll Off Characteristics' shows they have lost none of their politics and became a download must in Spin Magazine.
Long before indie bands were mixing global influences, Tjinder Singh and Ben Ayres setup Cornershop releasing tracks from 1993, which are now cult classics in the US. By 1997, the band hit the top of the international charts with the lauded "When I Was Born for the 7th Time" featuring the evergreen hit, 'Brimful of Asha.' Their music has been used in film, theatre, TV and adverts since. Last year Nike licensed the funk-charged 'Candyman' for one of their commercials featuring basketball superstar LeBron James (View it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SiQKxja79M)
Through the years, Cornershop have earned a worldwide fanbase counting the likes of Johnny Depp, Prince, David Byrne, Noel Gallagher, Jarvis Cocker, Morrissey, and Nelly Furtado.
The North American release of "Judy Sucks A Lemon For Breakfast" will include two bonus tracks. Exclusive to iTunes, 'Something Makes You Feel Like' features French songstress Soko. Originally recorded for John Peel, a cover of early Rock'n'Roll pioneer, Lonnie Donegan's 'Battle of New Orleans' will be exclusive to Amazon.
