Th' Faith Healers were a British indie rock ensemble active mainly between 1990 and 1994, during which they issued several EPs, singles, and two full-length albums.
History
The band consisted of Roxanne Stephen on vocals, Tom Cullinan handling guitar and vocals, Ben Hopkin on bass, and Joe Dilworth on drums. Cullinan, who was the chief songwriter, went on to co-found Quickspace. Their UK releases were under the Too Pure label, while in the United States, distribution was managed by Elektra. Their sound is notably influenced by krautrock, as demonstrated by their rendition of Can's "Mother Sky" featured on the album Lido.
After disbanding in 1994, Th' Faith Healers reunited occasionally. In 2006, they embarked on a reunion tour that coincided with the release of their Peel Sessions compilation. The group came together once more in 2009 for two performances at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival, curated respectively by The Breeders and My Bloody Valentine.
