"The British band Gomez is a five-piece, consisting of Ben Ottewell (vocals, guitar), Tom Gray (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Paul (Blackie) Blackburn (bass, guitar), Olly Peacock (drums), and Ian Ball (vocals, guitar, harmonica). Gomez is one of the few up and coming British bands to contain blues elements in their rock. Their debut album, Bring It On, was praised in the rock press on both sides of the Atlantic. Spin magazine called it "a damn beautiful album," giving it an eight out of ten rating. Liquid Skin followed in 1999 and the rarities and B-sides compilation Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline was issued a year later. A third studio album, In Our Gun, appeared in spring 2002. [from a review by Greg Prato, All Music Guide]"

In 2006 Gomez changed labels and released a new album (How We Operate) on ATO Records.
