[edit] Career

The band consisted of John Campbell on vocals, and Jarvis Whitehead playing guitar and keyboards.

In 1990 they released Song, a more down-tempo and synthesizer driven album. However the 'story-telling' lyrical style previously employed on "Life's Hard and Then You Die" remained. The album was a commercial disaster, despite receiving positive reviews in the music press.

The band also recorded several sessions for John Peel at BBC Radio 1.
