I think the band is bigger than any one person - I only actually discovered their stuff after listening to 'The Tall Ships' which is the best album I have heard in a long while - has got me into the old stuff - so glad it did :)

Agreed.

Look, the "new" It Bites was always going to sound different with JM involved but, from what I've heard, it still sounds like it Bites but slightly different - isn't that how a new album with the original line-up would have ended up anyway?
I think we have to accept that things change, often for the better, in the music business, and i think that the future of it Bites is in safe hands with JM and now Lee on board.

As more members of the band quit it's fast becoming an IT BITES tribute band - What a great loss!
Francis and Dick the world demands your return!!

As a Northener, I'm a bit concerned about my fave band filling up with southern softies. Will it take the edge off the sound? Seems ok so far...I await lots of flak from outraged Londoners...

Thanks Gazbert. I've been reading the website today. Their music has played a big part in my musical life. Pity about Dick. Couldn't they find anyone from Cumbria who could play a pedal-bass 'dumdedumdedum' for 9 minutes?

ex-take that bassist Lee Pomeroy, Dick Nolan left a short while ago 'cos he couldn't commit.

Who's on bass?
It Bites could be the ultimate Gastonbury band. Not sure if any could ever top them. Might even fire up old Berlingo to check them out. Have a feeling prices next year are gonna be silly though. I'd see Frank and his family for twenty quid

I saw them live in Sheffield recently. They can really cut it as far as i'm concerned. I love all of It Bites' albums including Tall |ships. Lets face it, without John Mitchell, there may not be an It Bites of this quality for us all to still enjoy. They're in a new phase and still retain the great John Beck and Bob Dalton. Lets hope things just keep getting better for them
