“…St Christopher is too enigmatic for anorak pop too heavyweight for tweepop too sophisticated for C86 too pure and genuine for the charts. Glenn Melia is a reincarnation of Scott Walker for minorities and connoisseurs or a dandyish David Gedge for bedroom intellects. There is something charismatic and intriguing about this Yorkshires indie pop pinup one of the best lyricists and mysterious voices in the pop scene…”
St. Christopher is a British indie pop band formed in York in the early 1980s. The only constant member of the band during its more than twenty years of existence has been Glenn Melia, and, during this time, Melia and St. Christopher have recorded with many well-known indie labels including Sarah, Bus Stop, Vinyl Japan, Elefant, Slumberland, Caff, and Parasol. The band probably achieved greatest recognition for the single “All of a Tremble,” released in 1989.
St Christopher began gigging again mid 2007 with new members Jim Fletcher and Matt Collinge, and Glenn is currently writing new material for release early 2008 |
