This is the name of two artists.

One (pictured) is the more recent band to have The Churchills name. A modern American alternative group, their music - namely the song ‘Everybody Gets What They Deserve’ - has been featured prominently in Bill Lawrence’s TV shows Spin City and Scrubs.

. The other is an absolutely amazing psychedelic rock band from 1968…

The eponymous 1968 album by Israel’s Churchills is one of the most sought-after records in the world. While some rare records go for hundreds of dollars, an original copy of The Churchills is likely to fetch thousands. Why? Because not only is it next to impossible to find, but The Churchills is one of those rarer-than-rare records that actually lives up to its reputation. From the opening bars of the first song on Side One, “Open Your Eyes” - an explosion of ecstatic screams and fuzz, “faces, lips and teeth and eyes; diamond rings and pretty things, and arms and legs and thighs” - you know this is going to be one amazing trip.

Track after track the album continues to astonish, delivering everything from electrifying psychedelic rock to evocative pop ballads with equal degrees of skill and originality. Soulfully delivered vocals, searing fuzz guitars, spacey sound effects, exotic Eastern flourishes - the Churchills use a dazzling palate of tones and colours, stretching the primitive Tel Aviv studio technology of the day to its limits to create one of the most brilliant psychedelic albums from anywhere in the world

A most grave tragedy indeed, I bet those goons hairspray their balls too. At least put up worthy music. The real Churchills are hard enough to come by, should we suffer this garbage in it's place?

Fans of the Israeli Churchills may want to re-tag the band's name to הצ'רצ'ילים for there's a specific profile for them, with actual pictures of the band. Now it's a matter of getting someone to add their album to the page.

well, people, in Britain the (old) Churchills were known as "Jericho Jones", and on that band's page there ain't no douchebag-photos. so change the band's name to "Jericho Jones".

Why should you care which band's image appears on your user page? It really can't matter that much, can it?

Arrgh@!! Yet another obscure 60's band I can't listen to on my computer anymore, lest pictures of dorks appear on my page. First Chrysalis, then this! Fuck!

The Israeli Churchills were awesome. These new Churchills look way too old to be dressed/coiffed like that. GROSS.

You Are Here and (to a slightly lesser extent) Big Ideas are quite a bit better than their other two records, I have to say. Odds of Winning was kind of a disappointment, and that video for I'm a Sucker For a Girl In Uniform nearly put me off them completely.

i agree with chad. both bands are good but the psych-rock band from israel was there a bit before (1968) and they are way better than the new ones...but that's just me. last.fm really should seperate these two
