Band Members	Bob and Jools are the faces beneath the masks
Influences	John Merrick --- The story of: Joseph Carey Merrick was born in Leicester, into Victorian standards that did not and could not tolerate the astounding abnormalities of his features. Cast aside by his father after his mother died,and Joseph..s new stepmother (who could no longer accept him),he reluctantly and eventually ended up becoming the main attraction at the local fairs. He would show all his corrupting flesh for those who paid the entrance fee,listening to the gasps of horror from the audience,witnessing the women fainting from the horrendous sight before them. In time, Joseph would be saved from this degrading humiliation by an eminent doctor, who later came to realise that beneath the corrupting foul smelling flesh of Joseph Merrick..s body lay a most humane person.For Joseph loved to read,enjoyed the theatre,had a thirst for knowledge,and above all asked for nothing more than to be accepted for a human being with feelings and emotions

About John Merrick's Remains

It all began for John Merrick's Remains in 2004 when Bob and Jools went into the studio to record their debut single for Dmp records. The single entitled Slapper gained good reviews and prompted the label to offer the band a one off album deal. The duo went into the studio with producer Andy Littlewood and recorded their debut album 'Digging up the Remains" and started gigging in and around the South Yorkshire area.The live following started to grow and people were asking if any new songs were on the horizon.The band were busy writing and recording new material and both Bob and Jools realised that the new material was far better than on their debut album. 2007 sees the band with an entire albums worth of songs mixed and ready to go, with full artwork. John Merrick's Remains are due to feature tracks on two gothic/darkwave magazines and are now looking for the right record label to release their material. The band are currently rehearsing the new songs ready for more live dates - coz as all Merrick's fans know if you aint seen em live , you aint seen nothing!!!!!!!!!! 2008 dmp records present the new album from: JOHN MERRICK..S REMAINS street date 4th jan.
