The Stone Roses biography
FORMED: 1985, Manchester, England
DISBANDED: October 1996
REFORMED: 18 October 2011

The Fall and, lurking in the shadows, seemingly endless copycat outfits, relentlessly churning over a drone borrowed from the underbelly of the big three, adding little.
And then, in an instant it seemed, things improved. It was 1985 and new venues opened in the city. ‘The International’, on Anson Road. The Boardwalk, on Little Peter Street, both creating some kind of romance out of overbearing austerity. The seeds of the scene that would eventually, and rather irritatingly, be tagged ‘Madchester’, were sown in August of that year when the cities new batch of elite bands. Simply Red, James, Easterhouse etc. performed at a free festival at Platt Fields park and then a whole clutch of disparate outfits

The Stone Roses
English rock band
This article is about the English rock band. For other uses, see The Stone Roses (disambiguation).
The Stone Roses were an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1983. They were one of the pioneering groups of the Madchester movement in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band's classic and most prominent lineup consisted of vocalist Ian Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Mani, and drummer Reni.
The Stone Roses released their eponymous debut album in 1989. The album was a breakthrough success for the band, receiving widespread critical acclaim, and is regarded by many as one of the greatest British albums ever recorded.[a] Following this success, the band sought to capitalize on their newfound fame by signing with a major label. However, their record label at the time, Silvertone, would not let them out of their contract, leading to a lengthy legal battle that culminated with the band signing with Geffen Records in 1991.
