Formed in 1988, in
Liverpool,
England the Boo Radleys were an
indie,
guitar band who had some
hits in the
Uk charts during the
Britpop era. However they were championed by
DJs like
John Peel before this and their best
album Giant Steps was voted album of the year by
NME readers in 1994. Their best known
song is
Wake Up Boo!, and many of their other songs will occasionally pop-up as background music in clips from football highlights.
The Boo Radleys were;
Martin Carr (guitarist/song writer), Sice (vocalist), Tim Brown (bassist) and Rob Cieka (drummer).
They split up in early 1999. Martin Carr has since gone on to form Brave Captain. Sice recorded one album First Fruits under the Eggman moniker.
