Charnock And Russell - Can't Stop

(Ross) Charnock and (Scott) Russell are two sensitive country boys, corrupted by city life, who sing fragile
three-minute pop songs about life, love and loss. One from the hills and mills of Lancashire, the other from
the bleak empty plains of Lincolnshire, together they create obsessive mantras of regret and longing set to a
rickety backdrop of tender finger-tickled guitar and homely banjo.
Over the last ten years of several different musical incarnations they've altered from wide-eyed, snake-hipped
students to jaded bitter bohos, and yet in this new old-time music of theirs they've found a chink of light, a
reason to hope. Focusing on writing simple, classic songs, and singing like their lives depend on it, the music of
the Charnock and Russell repertoire is bursting with subtle melodic charm and heartfelt pathos.
Freed of the fleeting preoccupations with fashion, they are now able to make honest, real music, which
represents them fully, and which helps fill what was once empty.
