The Coral chat to I Like Music
The Coral are one of the UK's most successful bands with 8 top 40 singles (4 top 10 hits) since their debut 'Shadows Fall' in 2001 when the band were still teenagers. The Coral find themselves as the possessors of four top 5 albums - including the mini album 'Nightfreaks and Sons of Becker' and chart-topping 'Magic and Medicine' - at an age when many bands are still breaking through. Lead singer, James Skelly is the oldest member at just 26.
New album, 'Roots & Echoes' finds the band invigorated after a period of soul searching following the release of their third studio album, 'The Invisible Invasion'. It was also around this period that one of the founding members Bill Ryder-Jones decided to quit touring with the group leaving the remaining members questioning whether they should continue. Four long years of touring had taken its toll on the band and Bill's temporary departure was the final straw. According to James Skelly, "If you take one person out of The Coral, it's just not The Coral anymore. By the end of the last tour we were falling apart."

Leon Jean-Marie: ilikemusic because... It transcends. It really creates emotion with someone. That feeling it gives you, it goes through boundaries. To create something, it just breaks through all the walls. When you connect with a song, that is it, that is magic isn't it?
Alfonso, The Hoosiers: ilikemusic because... Because, because, because, because, because of the wonderful things he does… I’m off to see the wizard…[singing] the wonderful wizard of oz…
Aaron, The Delays: ilikemusic because... It makes everything seem like an incredible film. And it does - it actually does! hahaha! I told the truth and everything....hahaha!
Lupe Fiasco: ilikemusic because... It gives me a chance to escape and reach people I wouldn’t ordinarily be able to reach. And without music the world would be kinda quiet.

simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
lolo: ilikemusic because... music is where some people display affection, show emotions and actually showing off who they are and their thinking. it is special unlike anything cos it goes out and never comes in back but in others.
