Razorcuts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Razorcuts were an indie pop band formed in 1985 in London.[1] The group centred around Gregory Webster and Tim Vass, with various musicians including Peter Momtchiloff of Heavenly.[1] Early releases on the Subway Organisation label, including the debut Big Pink Cake led to a deal with Creation Records for whom they released two albums. Razorcuts split in 1989, with Vass going on to form Red Chair Fadeaway, and Webster joining The Carousel.[1][2] The duo were reunited under the name Forever People in 1992 for a one-off single on Sarah Records.[1]
