About The Coral

The Coral are an English rock band formed in 1996 in Hoylake on the Wirral Peninsula, Merseyside. Their debut album, The Coral, was released in 2002 and included the single 'Dreaming of You'. The album was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and was listed as the fourth best album of the year by NME. Their second album, Magic and Medicine, followed in 2003 and produced four UK Top 20 singles, including 'Pass It On'. In 2008, guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones left the band, and they continued as a five-piece.
