Ricky (band)
Ricky was an English indie rock band.
Career
Ricky formed in Portsmouth, England in the autumn of 2000. The band's first release was a self-funded mini-album, released in January 2002, titled You Set The Scene, named after the last track on Forever Changes, an album by Love.Between 2004 and 2006, they had a number of small chart hits on the Garcia and Beat Crazy record labels, including a Top 40 hit in January 2005 with "Stop Knocking The Walls Down". This song was a double-A sided single, backed with "The Journey" by Ian Prowse's band Amsterdam and would give Ricky their only week in the Top 40.
In 2006, they released "We Are England", a football song, which reached number 54 in the UK pop chart; later in 2006 Ricky disbanded.
