Cornershop will release Judy Sucks A Lemon For Breakfast on April 20 in North America through their label, Ample Play.  Released in the UK and Europe this past summer to critics' delight, this is the follow up to 2002's critically acclaimed Handcream For A Generation.  North American tour dates are planned for this fall. 

Long before indie bands were mixing global influences, Tjinder Singh and Ben Ayres set up Cornershop and were releasing tracks from 1993 onward, giving the band cult status in the US.  By 1997, the band hit the top of the international charts with the lauded When I Was Born for the 7th Time featuring the evergreen hit, "Brimful of Asha."  Their music has been used in film, theatre, TV and adverts since.  Last year Nike licensed the funk-charged "Candyman" for one of their commercials featuring basketball superstar LeBron James (View it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SiQKxja79M)

Through the years, Cornershop have earned a worldwide fanbase counting the likes of Johnny Depp, Prince, David Byrne, Noel Gallagher, Jarvis Cocker, Morrissey, and Nelly Furtado.

The North American release of Judy Sucks A Lemon For Breakfast will include two bonus tracks.  Exclusive to iTunes, "Something Makes You Feel Like" features French songstress Soko. Originally recorded for John Peel, a cover of early Rock'n'Roll pioneer, Lonnie Donegan's "Battle of New Orleans" will be exclusive to Amazon.
