"Should be held in the same esteem as Stone Roses and Oasis" - LOUDER THAN WAR

"Brilliant energy and great, interesting songs" - BADLY DRAWN BOY

The Creature Comfort from Manchester play impassioned music for troubled times, mixing alternative rock with post-punk energy and an epic dimension. Blending might and melody, their sonic onslaught powers a visceral soundtrack for an uncertain future.

They have received airplay on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio London, Radio X and Amazing Radio, headlined Head For The Hills Festival, and caught the attention of Iggy Pop, Badly Drawn Boy and The Blinders amongst others.

The band was formed by singer Ben Le Jeune after his arrival in Manchester from Belgium in 1987, and they soon built up a cult following, sharing stage with Mudhoney, Gun Club & Stereolab amongst others and generating major label frenzy. A long hiatus ended in 2013 with a new line-up, a critically acclaimed self-titled album and regular live appearances. 

In 2021 the album "Everything Is Hidden" was released, featuring the singles "Alone By Your Side" ('one of the catchiest songs of the year' according to Sounds Good), "Life's A Crime", "What We Want (Power Corruption & Lies)" and "Highway 7".

A new album due out in Spring 2025 has been recorded with producer Tim Thomas (One Direction, The Fall, Paul Heaton). A series of singles leading up to this date will be released throughout 2024 along with live dates to be announced.

The Creature Comfort are Ben Le Jeune on vocals, Steve Jones and Paul Hesketh on guitars, Martyn Henderson on keys, Brad Ingham on bass and Will Jaquet on drums.

Hailing from Barrow in Furness, Cumbria Mark Docherty has been writing music since the age of 11. Influenced by David Bowie Jack White and Prince he brings together these eclectic influences to create a unique sound all his own.
Since studying songwriting at Brighton Institute of Modern Music, Mark has led London based bands such as ‘party-rock pioneers’ Team New Band (like Talking Heads & Pixies taking steroids together), to the dark Dead Weather inspired Hari Debi. Achievements from this include BBC Introducing support as well as headlining Archie’s Stage at YNOT festival. 
After a relocation to Liverpool Mark is releasing his debut solo album Reckless Abandon due out mid-2023. Playing all the instruments, producing and mastering the 12 songs has been a labour of love and an interesting challenge. The triumphant first single Saying Goodbye has been described as ‘Sensational in all aspects’ -  ANR factory
