| | Salem Hill biography |
| | After a 3-year hiatus from performing and recording, the band reassembled to write and record their third album, 1997's "Catatonia." Groves explains, "'Catatonia' is a concept album depicting the internal journey of a man born without the ability to dream. | | | Nevertheless, the band recorded and released their debut, "Salem Hill" in the spring of 1992. | | | In October 2003, Salem Hill released their seventh album, "Be." Like "Catatonia" and "The Robbery of Murder", this album is conceptual. |

| | Catatonia: Equally Cursed and Blessed ---Ink Blot Magazine |
| | Catatonia are a band that prides itself on presentation. | | | 1998 was a dream year for the band, all due to the massive success of their #1 album, International Velvet, and two successive Top Five hits. | | | One of the more under-appreciated discs released in the UK last year, and likely to suffer the same fate in the U.S., Equally Cursed And Blessed is an album that begs for repeated listens. |

| | They were not just a throwaway pop band - they had real, meaningful songs. | | | They were health problems which forced the band to cancel a promotion tour in support of new album, Paper Scissors Stone. | | | The band should have mounted an eight-date tour in July, but not even the rescheduled dates for September were able to go ahead because the singer had not yet recovered. |

| | As befits a band with Catatonia's restless nature, the album was recorded in a variety of locales throughout Britain, including studios in Cornwall, North Wales, South Wales, London, Surrey, and Coventry. | | | The band used the opportunity to roadtest their new material, including what would become the first U.K. single from "EQUALLY CURSED AND BLESSED" — the string-laden anthem, "Dead From The Waist Down." Another immediate top ten hit, the single — released in March 1999 — paved the way for the album's #1 chart debut. | | | Catatonia also took their show around the globe, performing to huge audiences in Australia and Japan, in addition to sharing a stage in Holland with the Rolling Stones. |

| | Catatonia "Equally Cursed And Blessed" |
| | Catatonia's music usually requires somewhat of an acquired taste due to its untraditional style, however, this taste can be acquired after merely one listening of their third album, Equally Cursed And Blessed. | | | Although the band's noncommittal position to either makes it difficult for them to find a niche on American radio, it makes their album stand out against much of the homogeneous sludge that has lately besieged the music industry. | | | Their sound is said to be rock-pop, yet this is an inaccurate description, as their music is more innovative and original than most contemporary rock, and it is clearly more thoughtful and genuine then modern pop. |

| | Born in Cardiff in 1992, Catatonia early in its career released songs with lyrics in English, Welsh, French and Spanish on the independent label Crai. | | | The band’s sound is ebullient, melodic, anthem-like rock with a dash of folksiness. | | | The release was augmented by a dozen Catatonia concert dates on the east and west coasts, where some American fans sang along with the band -- in Welsh. |

| | Catatonia - Refueled |
| | By the time of the band’s fourth album release, Paper Scissors Stone last spring, it was clear that whatever happened to the record, the band’s days were numbered. | | | Beyond the rumours of Cerys’ own personal battles against the more self-destructive side of her nature, there were managerial difficulties, which led to the band and the singer being represented by separate companies — a move which invariably sounds the death knell of any close working relationship. | | | It’s now three months since Catatonia announced they had split up after the best part of a decade and four albums together. |

| | The band broke up in '91, and the year after, Mark and his then-girlfriend, Cerys, wrote a song together - Sweet Catatonia, the title of which was also chosen for the band which they started. | | | Y Cyrff was a Welsh-only band, one of the most popular in Wales, but singing in Welsh only kept the band from achieving a bigger following than the Welsh-speaking population of the UK. | | | The new management made changes to the band. |

| | One of the attractions of Catatonia was that they existed as a force of nature rather than merely a sum of their musical influences. | | | That’s not to say that Mark Roberts (guitar), Paul Jones (bass; ex-member, together with Roberts, of Welsh-language punk band Y Cruff), Owen Powell (guitar) and Aled Richards (drums) don’t contribute greatly to a band who come across surprisingly well on record. | | | Roberts first discovered leather-lungs Cerys busking Jefferson Airplane songs outside Debenham’s in Cardiff, and invited her to work on some songs with him. |
