Formed in Hounslow in 1993, The Bluetones arrived on the British music scene just a year prior to the phenomenon of Britpop. Originally named The Bottlegarden, the band consisted of Mark Morriss on vocals, Adam Devlin on guitar, Mark's brother Scott on bass guitar, and Eds Chesters on drums. Released in February 1996, The Bluetones’ debut studio album Expecting To Fly featured the hit single Bluetonic and the soft rock anthem Slight Return. For the climax of Beyond The Title’s Britpop season, I caught up with The Bluetones’s Mark Morriss to talk eras, slight returns and his recollections on arguably one of the most potent decades in popular culture. Ladies and gentlemen Mr Mark Morriss.
