I met Rob once, top bloke, very down to earth.
There's an acoustic EP that includes "The Nude". Stunning.
They were an excellent and prolific B- sides band.

It's interesting how pretty much all the original shoegaze crew as such has hit the reunion phase but this bunch didn't. (Other non-returnees off the top of my head: Boo Radleys, Pale Saints.) And yes granted CW weren't exactly shoegaze but they were of that generation, had a greater amount of success over here at the time compared to a lot of them, etc.

Ferment is getting a vinyl reissue at the end of June. hope Chrome follows suit quickly thereafter...

My favorite Catherine wheel is the one-two punch of "strange fruit" and "chrome"
― brimstead, Friday, 26 May 2017 17:51 (seven years ago) link
and then "the nude" so it's really like three punches

re: the first punch, no song has ever punched me more

and now CHROME is getting a proper reissue via Music on Vinyl in September!

There's never been expanded reissues, and lord knows there's material aplenty...
New material would be welcome, of course, if a bit trepidatious about the potential.

Seems like it was just announcement of Adam and Eve streaming (hadn't realize it hadn't been?)
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 29 July 2022 14:51 (two years ago) link
Well, specific dates in this one.

What does this mean? Is there new stuff or is this for reissues? I would like to see them live again as it was always great. I think I saw them around seven times.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 29 March 2023 22:16 (one year ago) link
Guess we'll find out! After last year's tease that wasn't much, I'm suspicious, but the fact that there are two dates mentioned is intriguing.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 29 March 2023 22:18 (one year ago) link
probably the only band I'd spend all my money and fly anywhere to see
― sloop johnnin' skater (geoffreyess), Wednesday, 29 March 2023 23:09 (one year ago) link
maybe they can hire a graphic designer with it

I think it ended up being their early EPs going to streaming or something. However! Renewed hope:
