In July 2002, NME heralded 'the funniest, most refreshing British debut in years' in their review of The Coral's eponymous debut album, a record that would go on to pierce the UK Top 5 and earn the band their first platinum album. In 2007, the same title announced that The Coral had 'become the classic band they've sometimes promised to be' in their review of current studio album, 'Roots and Echoes'. Six years and four studio albums into their career it speaks volumes that the band that really restarted the British guitar sound in the early noughties continue to gain praise from all quarters.

The Coral release their 'Singles Collection' this week and we have a big big prize to celebrate...a signed guitar! Plus Runners Up Prizes: Copies of the album which feature the second disc: 19 unreleased tracks, 8 brand new songs, plus covers, live performances and demos.

The heart of The Coral has always been the tension between the classic songwriting that runs through their veins and produced such singles as 'Pass It On', 'Jacqueline', 'Dreaming Of You' and 'Bill McCai' and the experimentalism that was first spotted on debut EP 'Shadows Fall' and led through the compilation album, 'Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker' to the sea shanty of 'Remember Me' on 'Roots and Echoes'. The Coral are a rarity in music, a band that make tunes that appeal to everyman whilst producing those tunes in such a way and with such understanding of their medium that critics are minded to say 'James Skelly is one of the finest writers, and voices, in British music today' (Q).

CLOSING DATE: Monday 06th October 2008
