This Certain Kind

On Sunday morning last Dave Fanning spoke to Anthony Cully of This Certain Kind. 20 years after the band broke up and thanks to some demos posted on YouTube the band are now set to feature on the latest compilation release by German label Firestation Records ‘The Sound Of Leamington Spa Volume 9‘. The CD & vinyl versions features the track ‘Unfortunate’ whilst a second tune ‘Make Your Heart Bleed’ appears as a bonus hidden track on the double vinyl version. There is talk of a full album release on Firestation Records so stay tuned.

This Certain Kind were formed in Tallaght in 1987 by Anthony Cully (vocals) and Lee Gartland (bass). Anthony and Lee were soon joined by Mark Comerford (guitar), John Lowery (guitar), Alan Kiloran (keyboards) and Keith Gantley (drums). In March 1988 the band recorded their first demo ‘Inspire’ in Christ Church Studios, with Mark Sherlock now on bass duties. By 1991 Anthony and Mark were joined by Des Connaughton (guitar) and John Short (drums).
