Cherry Red

Cherry Red is a British label that was founded by Iain McNay in 1978. Also known as Cherry Red Records, this label has become associated with the company Music and Media Group. With the label code LC 6730, Cherry Red has made a name for itself in the music industry. It is important to note that this label should not be confused with the US label of the same name.

Skeletal Family is a post-punk/gothic rock band hailing from West Yorkshire, England. Originally active from 1982 until 1986, they took a hiatus before reforming in 2002. With their unique blend of haunting melodies and dark lyrics, Skeletal Family quickly gained a devoted following in the goth scene.

Influenced by bands such as Mephisto Walz, Specimen, and Sex Gang Children, Skeletal Family carved out their own niche within the genre. Their music often featured atmospheric guitar riffs, driving basslines, and the distinctive vocals of lead singer *Anne-Marie Hurst*. Songs like "Promised Land" and "She Cries Alone" showcased their ability to create moody and captivating soundscapes.

Throughout their career, Skeletal Family shared stages with notable acts like Christian Death and Alien Sex Fiend. Their live performances were known for their energy and intensity, leaving audiences mesmerized. Despite lineup changes over the years, the band's dedication to creating powerful music remained unwavering.

Box Sets

Fronted by glamorous singer Anne-Marie Hurst, The Skeletal Family were at the forefront of the Goth Rock movement of the 1980s. Compiled with the full involvement of the band, who have opened up their archives for the project, this 5-CD set boasts all of the Skeletal Family's independent recordings for the Red Rhino label between 1983 and 1985. Both of the band's albums Burning Oil and Futile Combat are included, alongside all their non-album singles, B-sides and rare compilation appearances. For the first time, many of the band's unissued BBC sessions for John Peel, Kid Jensen and Janice Long are also included. The fourth disc concentrates on live material, drawn principally from a show at Folkestone Peter Pipers (01-03-84) and a later show with Anne-Marie's replacement Katrina Phillips. It culminates with a version of Bob Dylan's Knocking On Heaven's Door, with guests Andrew Eldritch (Sisters Of Mercy) and Wayne Hussey (The Mission). The fifth and final CD boasts a clutch of demos of previously unissued, brand new songs by the modern-day Skeletal Family, alongside earlier demos and some live reunion material.
