Style: pop

Lineup:

Bio:

Fairly mersh pop/rock band fronted by Paul Tiernan and Mandy Murphy. Considered at the time to have enough potential for a publishing contract with Paul McGuiness and Bill Whelan, they released two singles which don't quite bear this out.

Both "Darkness" and "Whatever Happened To Girls Like Alice" were recorded for Dave Fanning's Show (possibly with a third track, "Behind The Wire"). The lineup on these recordings was completed by Carolyn Fox (vocals), John Stokes (Guitar), Maurice Seezer (keyboards), John O'Sullivan (bass) and Earl Gill Jnr (drums). "The Darkness" became an A-side which "..Alice" appeared on the Street Carnival Rock EP. They split sometime after the second single "Stan".

Paul Tiernan later released solo albums in singer-songwriter style while Mandy Murphy is an in demand backing vocalist.
