Gomez (band) - Bring IT On

Bring It On

After signing to Hut Records in September 1997, they began recording their debut album. They entered Parr Street Studios with engineer Ken Nelson (later Badly Drawn Boy, Coldplay) recording new songs and improving the mixes of the demos. The band self produced.

Surpassing expectations, the album went Platinum and beyond. A season of English Festivals (including two performances at Glastonbury) bolstered their reputation, along with constant radio and television support. The band's successful year was crowned when they won the Mercury Music Prize in September 1998. Other nominees included Massive Attack – Mezzanine, Pulp – This Is Hardcore, The Verve – Urban Hymns.
