Steve Cradock

In the forefront from the mid-’90s mod revival, Ocean Colour Scene guitarist and regular Paul Weller cohort Steve Cradock took center stage for the very first time in twenty years after starting a belated solo career. Given birth to in Solihull, Western Midlands in 1969, Cradock was raised hearing the Beatles as well as the Rolling Rocks, and after learning how exactly to play your guitar, created his first music group, the Kids, at age group 19. A normal fixture within the Birmingham gig circuit, the music group released a three-track vinyl fabric EP, Happy Times, but pursuing their break up, Cradock teamed up with Simon Fowler, Damon Minchella, and Oscar Harrison to create Ocean Colour Picture. Their self-titled debut recording didn’t make any effect, but carrying out a support slot machine on Paul Weller’s 1993 U.K. tour, Cradock was asked to be the Modfather’s regular guitarist, a job that allowed him to self-finance his personal band’s discovery second recording, the three-million-selling Moseley Shoals. Cradock continuing to combine both gigs, showing up on every Weller studio room release, in addition to co-writing and carrying out on each of OCS’ seven following albums. In 2008 he embarked by himself solo career along with his debut recording, The Kundalini Focus on, written and documented at Weller’s Dark Barn Studios in only six times, while his follow-up, Serenity City West, made an appearance in the springtime of 2011 via his personal Kundalini Music label. Cradock in addition has made an appearance on Smokin’ Mojo Filter systems’ TOP cover version from the Beatles’ “GET TOGETHER” and Liam Gallagher’s Jam tribute recording contribution “Carnation,” and it has created an unreleased return recording for P.P. Arnold.
