BEST OF CD MMIV - MMXIII 2013 4th ALBUM DARK CITY - 5 track ep 2014 LIGHT & DARK 2017 5th ALBUM It all began for John Merrick's Remains in 2004 when Bob and Jools went into the studio to record their debut single for DMP records. The single entitled Slapper gained good reviews and prompted the label to offer the band a one off album deal. The duo went into the studio with producer Andy Littlewood and recorded their debut album 'Digging up the Remains" and started gigging in and around the South Yorkshire area. The live following started to grow and people were asking if any new songs were on the horizon. The band were busy writing and recording new material and both Bob and Jools realised that the new material was far better than on their debut album. 2007 sees the band with an entire albums worth of songs mixed and ready to go, with full artwork. John Merrick's Remains are due to feature tracks on two gothic/dark wave magazines and are now looking for the right record label to release their material. The band are currently rehearsing the new songs ready for more live dates - coz as all Merrick's fans know if you aint seen em live , you aint seen nothing!!!!!!!!!! 2008 DMP records present the new album from: JOHN MERRICK`S REMAINS street date 4th Jan.
