	Single and Album Press Releases
	HEAVEN Neuronic are a new band, signed to MuteUs Interpop label, and are set to release their debut single on 25th March 1996. Neuronic are Lisa Lamb, Paul Statham and Pascal Gabriel. Paul has done production work with Peter Murphy and Kevin Rowland, Lisa is a vocalist with a background in jazz and R&B, having worked with Troublefunk and Band Of Gypsies, while Pascal has been producer to artists such as Inspiral Carpets, Jimmy Somerville and EMF as well as being co-writer of Bomb The Bass, Beat Dis and S'Express Theme From S'Express. Heaven is angelic dance-pop, a blistering slice of club power which bursts into a towering chorus. With another single already completed, and the finishing touches being put to an album Neuronic are a name to watch for in T96. (Of course as we know now the combo were renamed "Peach" before the album was completed)


			ON MY OWN Snap, crackle, Peach. Recent Mute signings Peach release their debut single,On My Own, on September 2nd. Pascal Gabriel, Lisa Lamb and Paul Statham, aka Peach, are purveyors of fine pop thrills. All lush orchestration and floating vocal hooks, Peach take their inspiration from a wide spectrum of sound. From The Shirelles to Bacharach, from St Etienne to Giorgio Moroder. Get the picture? The band met in bizarre circumstances some time last year. The three got chatting in a Turkish bath in Istanbul, found they had a mutual admiration of great pop hooks and decided to form a band. The embryonic Peach were formed. The band have already written their debut album which will see the light of day later in the year, an album that develops the theme first unravelled with this, their first single. With its instant pop sensibility, the single and album look set to catapult Peach into the pop spotlight. Go Peach, go! FROM THIS MOMENT ON Snap, crackle, Peach.

	ON MY OWN UK REISSUE "Grandly stomping Spector-ish Vegas-pop classicism atop this thunderous tidal wave of rumbling bass and crashing cymbals, sounding rather like McAlmont & Butler's 'Yes' with The Ronettes on vocals. Yes, really - as thumpingly great as that." - NME on "On My Own" International hitmakers Peach release "On My Own" on Mute Records on November 17. The release of the single follows incredible overseas demand as it streaks up the charts in America, Canada (No 2 so far) and Japan (No 17) and Israel (No 1). "On My Own" has taken the US charts by storm, featuring as the highest new entry on the Billboard Hot 100 three weeks ago. The phenomenal response from American radio has seen Peach become the most played British group, receiving over 2000 plays a week, and all signs point to a top ten single.

Peach (Union) are the most played British group, receiving over 2000 plays a week, and all signs point to a Top Ten single. "On My Own" is now provisionally scheduled for a November British release, by which time Peach should have fulfilled their hectic promotional commitments in the States.

	DEBUT ALBUM AND NEW SINGLE Peach release their debut album, 'AudioPeach' on Mute Records on 29 June 1998. This is followed by their summer stormer single 'Sorrow Town' on 27 July. AudioPeach' contains ten sparkling pop songs including the US top 40 classic 'On My Own' which features heavily on the soundtrack of the new Gwyneth Paltrow movie 'Sliding Doors'. Followers of the American charts will know that 'On My Own' was one of the most successful singles by a British act over the last 12 months. 'AudioPeach' is a debut of love and joy, death and loneliness that creates, in a series of three and a half minute classics, a mix of Dusty, Petula, Spector, et al, but always with a pre-millenial twist - 'AudioPeach' creates its own niche of timeless music that can be grasped and cherished as much in today's Euro Pop world as in the sweet soul world of yesterday. 'AudioPeach' released on CD on 29 June. 'Sorrow Town' is released on the following formats on 27 July: CD: Sorrow Town Radio Mix Trouser Enthusiasts Radio Mix Trouser Enthusiasts Discomedusa Mix Bassbin Barebones Mix 12": Sorrow Town Bassbin Twins Cut'n'Paste Bassbin Barebones Mix Trouser Enthusiasts Teenage Abattoir Mix Peach: Putting Pop Music Back On The Agenda.
