The Coral

British indie rock band

The Coral is an English rock band that was formed in 1996 in Hoylake on the Wirral Peninsula, England. The band's music is a blend of old-fashioned country, 1960s-style psychedelia, and folk, with a hint of the sea shanty style reflective of their coastal roots. The group first emerged during the early 2000s and was part of the garage rock revival that included bands like The Strokes and The White Stripes. Their self-titled debut album "The Coral," released in 2002, received critical acclaim and was shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize. It included hit singles such as "Dreaming of You," which helped establish their reputation.
