Relish are a rock band from Downpatrick, Co. Down, Northern Ireland, composed of brothers Ken (vocals and guitar) and Carl (drums, keyboards and vocals) Papenfus, and Darren Campbell (bass and vocals). They have released two albums: "Wildflowers" (Platinum -15,000+ Sold) in 2001, and "Karma Calling" (Gold 7,500+ Sold) in 2003, both on the EMI Ireland label.
Relish were fully formed by the mid 1990s when the brothers ran into bass player Darren Campbell. The band signed to EMI in 1998 and immediately caught the attention of famed producer John Leckie (The Stone Roses, Radiohead) who got them into the studio to begin recording.
They are perhaps best known for the songs "Rainbow Zephyr" and "You I'm Thinking Of", from their debut album, "Wildflowers". The former (a big Irish radio hit in its own right) was covered by Westlife with slightly changed lyrics and released as a single "Hey Whatever", while the latter reached #8 in the Irish singles charts.
Fans of the band include Brian May of Queen and Larry Mullen of U2.
As of March 2006, the band had completed recording and were in the final stages of mixing their third album,"Three Times", but had not announced a projected release date. Three Times was released in Japan in early 2009 by the Japenese label CCRE Entertainment.[1]

American Band Called Relish
In the 1990s there was an American band called Relish. Originating in Fullerton, California, Relish was composed of Michele Walker (vocals, guitar), Laurita Guaico (guitar, vocals), Gina Karaba (bass, vocals), and Lynnae Hitchcock (drums, vocals). Performing extensively through Southern California, as well as participating in the Warped Tour, they released a full-length self-titled CD in 1999 and a 7" single on Volcom Entertainment before disbanding.
Their music has been described as Black Sabbath meets Guided by Voices, featuring heavy guitars and unconventional time signatures.
