Cherry Red

<p>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.</p>

UK indie-pop band, formed in 1990 in Hounslow. 
After Nigel left to record solo and pursue other interests in 2002, the band carried on with a new singer and additional guitarist.  Dodgy "Mk. II" were short-lived and the band split up soon after, with Andy and Matt pursuing other interests and joining other bands and "supergroups".  

In 2009 the original lineup got back together for a week-long run of gigs at the Barfly in Camden and toured their comeback album in the winter of 2011 and throughout 2012, including a tour of the highlands and islands of Scotland.  


'What Are We Fighting For' is the fifth album from Dodgy - Nigel Clark, Mathew Priest and Andy Miller - and their first new material since their lauded comeback reunion album, 'Stand Upright In A Cool Place' (2012). Self-produced and mixed in Worcestershire, the album was produced by Nigel, and recorded and engineered by Dave 'Done' Draper at Tower Studios, Pershore. The album boasts the amazing Vanessa Wilson from Ultrasound on four tracks, including 'What Are We Fighting For' and 'You Give Drugs A Bad Name', two central tracks of the album. Influenced by July, Harmonium and Can and Nigel's new-found love of bands like Atlas Sound and White Fence, Dodgy believe 'What Are We Fighting For' is their best record. Fans include Cenzo Townshend (Florence, U2, Primal Scream), who demanded to mix some tracks; and Rob Da Bank, who offered Dodgy a slot at Bestival. Back in the 90s, Dodgy sold over a million records worldwide, released three albums and enjoyed 12 Top 40 singles, including 'Staying Out For The Summer' (recently used on the trailer for Top Gear), 'In A Room', 'If You're Thinking Of Me' and 'Good Enough'. CD -  Limited Digipack CD Version.LP - This deluxe gatefold vinyl edition is strictly limited and features an insert depicting the diamond artwork!
