"Asphalt Ribbons were a UK band that formed in 1988. They were the pre-Tindersticks, featuring vocalist Stuart Staples, David Boulter, Dickon Hinchliffe, Neil Fraser and Al Macaulay. Mark Colwill replaced John Thomson in the last days before Asphalt Ribbons became Tindersticks. Mark was recruited when John left but it is not sure if he played any gigs under the Asphalt Ribbons name. They then changed their name to Tindersticks after Stuart discovered a box of German matches on a Greek beach. Their sound is more country-ish than Tindersticks, but already features the distinctive vocals of Stuart Staples".

great one ELT!!
thank you?
any chance of any more Asphalt Ribbons?
You just have to check the labels/tags list on the right to get some more Asphalt Ribbons. As for the rest of their (brilliant) singles, they have a good chance of - sooner or later - ending up here as well...
Great music. I had no idea of pre-Tindersticks. Another outstanding post.
