John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

Rose Of Avalanche

The Rose of Avalanche are an English alternative rock band from Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, formed in 1984. They have currently released ten albums. The band was formed by Phil Morris, Paul James Berry and Alan Davis. The name came from the "rose" for the beauty and the "avalanche" for the power, as a way of describing their music. The Rose Of Avalanche were labelled with the Goth Rock tag from an early stage, however unlike their contemporaries their influences - particularly on the début First Avalanche - lay with American Psychedelic Rock such as The Doors.

Links to Peel[]

Peel played material from the band's singles in the mid-80's, but didn't seem to play their albums. They did a session for his show in 1985 and some of his listeners voted their track, L.A. Rain, in the 1985 Festive Fifty, but after 1986, Peel never played any material from the group.
