Acid Test was a Canadian alternative rock band formed in Toronto[1] in 1990. The band consisted of vocalist and bassist Lucy Di Santo, guitarist Steve Fall, keyboardist Atom Percy, drummer Jim Alty, and DJ Mike Harland. Fall played a prominent role in the Bruce McDonald black comedy Highway 61 in 1992, and the band was created to perform two songs on the movie's soundtrack ("Mr. Skin" and "Dance").
After independently releasing an album on Eggplant Records, Sire Records (Warner Music Group) signed the band in 1993, releasing the album Drop that year. After two years of touring opening for a diverse collection of headlining acts such as Nine Inch Nails, Grace Jones, Snow, 54-40 and The Ocean Blue, Acid Test quietly went on a hiatus in 1994 due to band infighting and lack of proper record label support.

After Acid Test broke off, Steve Fall moved on to become a private guitar and bass teacher in Nova Scotia. Nothing is known on the other members of the band.
