Bio:
Formed by Terry Sharpe & Pat Gribben of The Starjets. They were signed
by Chrysalis in 1984 who had high hopes for the band. The record company
gave the first single and debut album a big push but it never really
happened for them. WEA bought out their contract in 1988 and issued the
2nd and 3rd albums. The final LP came out on Polydor in 1993.
"At the risk of sounding like a snob, the talents of the ex Starjets
at work here are wasted in this band. The tunes may still be there but
the guitars have been replaced by synths and the kind of big '80s pop
production which renders such records unlistenable"--DMR
