Bio:
Instant success with Geffen Records didn't do their credibility much good but
their album is very good (assuming you like actual rock music) apart from the
cover artwork which is mediocre and got progressively worse with each single.
Consistently bad cover artwork and a terrifically bad name (MLF -- whose idea
was that?) probably didn't do them any good in the long run. As a result they

Geffen Records rejected the follow up album which remains unreleased. According
to some reports there are in fact two unreleased albums.
Carling/Hot Press Band of 1991; supported Guns'N'Roses on their 1992 UK tour and at Slane Castle.
Derek Maher replaced by Graham Hopkins in 1993. Graham Hopkins later in

called Spider Baby..?? (not the San Francisco band).

There have also been several promo CD singles:
