  • Linoleum were a London-based indie–alternative musical group active during the late 1990s. Their original lineup consisted of Caroline Finch – vocals and guitar, Paul Jones - guitar, Emma Tornaro - bass and Dave Nice - drums. This lineup changed slightly in 2000 when Paul Jones left the band to join Elastica; he was replaced by Gavin Pearce. The first few releases in the UK were released on the band's own label "lino vinyl" and featured sleeves made from linoleum, some of which the band cut out themselves. In December 1996 the band were signed by Geffen for all releases in the rest of the world. The debut album Dissent was recorded at Fort Apache Studios in Cambridge, Massachusetts with Paul Kolderie and Sean Slade producing, whose previous efforts included projects with Radiohead, Hole and the Pixies among others. It received a generally positive reaction but failed to make the breakthrough hoped for, leading to a change of label with Fierce Panda releasing later singles and second album The Race from the Burning Building. It is rumoured that they got dropped by their label because of the band (not Caroline) failing to turn up for a gig – their excuse was that their gear was stolen. After Elastica split in 2000 Paul Jones went on to work as an A&R man for Sanctuary Records and manages their "Slogan Records" sub-label. In 2006 he sat on the judging panel for an X-Factor type competition run by MySpace. In 2002 Caroline Finch composed the score for the short British film Rosie by Lauren Pushkin. The current status of the band in unknown, although since 2000 Caroline Finch has been involved in the composition of soundtracks for various films.
