DESCRIPTION:
Alternative Rock Pressed on Yellow Vinyl - The Zutons second album, an assured and full-blooded northern soul-rock confection, was issued in April 2006 and peaked at number two in the charts. This is its very first vinyl reissue.
Lead single 'Why Won't You Give Me Your Love’ went Top 10, as did the follow-up, ‘Valerie’, a song that has now achieved certified classic status thanks to the incredible popularity of the cover version produced by Mark Ronson and featuring Amy Winehouse the following year.
Chief songwriter Dave McCabe explained that many of the album’s tunes were "about giving yourself a bit of a hard time… 'cause you've gone out and got drunk or let someone down." Several were inspired by the band’s experiences promoting their first album 'Who Killed The Zutons?' on tour; ‘Valerie’ and ‘Oh Stacey (Look What You've Done!)’ in particular.
Reviewers at the time generally concluded that their unpretentious, sax-enhanced shenanigans brightened the drab English airwaves and John Murphy of musicOMH.com summed it up nicely: “Since 'Who Killed The Zutons', they've hit the big time, whether it be through Mercury nominations or support slots with both U2 and REM. Yet this hasn't gone to the band's collective head, as 'Tired Of Hanging Around' is as delightfully quirky, original and catchy as its predecessor, whilst also representing something of a leap forward.”

Last FM Information on The Zutons
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
The Zutons is a British band whose music has proved difficult to categorise, and has been described as "psychedelic cartoon punk" with a unique blend of rock pop, jazz, funk, and general eclecticism. The band consists of: David McCabe (lead vocals, guitar), Abi Harding (saxophone, vocals), Russell Pritchard (bass) and Sean Payne (drums). Guitarist Boyan Chowdhury left in 2007. The band has three albums out as of 2008 - 2004's "Who Killed the Zutons?", 2006's "Tired of Hanging Around" and 2008's "You Can Do Anything"
The band formed in Liverpool, England in 2001, taking their name from Magic Band guitarist Bill Harkleroad, better known as Zoot Horn (or "Zuton") Rollo. With all the members being Liverpudlian, this led to comparisions with The Coral, especially as both bands were signed to the same record label - Deltasonic - and had the same producer - Ian Broudie. Their debut album - Who Killed The Zutons? - was released on October 18th 2004, and reached number 9 in the UK album chart.
