[edit] History
The band formed in 1988, self-releasing an album that year; two EPs followed in 1992 and 1993. 1995's full-length, Save It, produced by Bill Stevenson and Stephen Egerton, resulted in some media exposure due to the success of their cover of Soft Cell's "Tainted Love".[1] After another independent release in 1997, the band signed to Universal, who released Eyewitness in 1999 and Sonic Boom in 2001. In 1999, the single "Valentine" peaked at #31 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.[2] The band has since broken up, though a reunion show was given in 2006. Ed Brown now works as a language arts teacher at Bridgewater Raritan Middle School. Current information on the other members is unknown.
