Decoration are an English indie band from Leeds founded in 2002 by Sam Noble (Bass), Stuart Dickinson (Guitar), Steve Taylor (Drums) and Stuart Murray (Vocals). The band have recorded four albums and six singles to date. There has been no recent releases from the band since 2009. Not much information is known, whether they have split or on hiatis. The band were a favourite of John Peel, who played their demos on his show. Stephen Huw, the BBC Radio One presenter also liked the band and invited them to perform a session for his One Music Show in 2005. Plus Steve Lamacq, also called their track I tried it, I liked it, I loved it, his single of the week, when the band released the track in 2005.

Links To Peel
Discovered and championed by John Peel in early 2004, Decoration made their Radio One debut with Joy Adamson a song from the band’s first demo The Thomas Pink Session. Impressed by their initial efforts, Peel phoned the band personally and invited them down to Maida Vale Studios in London to record a Peel session. The session was aired a month later, creating a buzz among music fans and industry alike. As interest in the band grew, Decoration produced a second demo that Peel also began playing, containing what would later become the band’s first official single I tried it, I liked it, I loved it. The demo caught the attention of Edinburgh-based label SL Records, one of Peel’s favorite labels at that time, who later signed them on. The band's I tried it, I liked it, I loved it was the first white label track to have an entry in the 2004 Festive Fifty reaching number 24. Joy Adamson also made an appearance in that same festive fifty reaching number 39.==Festive Fifty Entries==
