Stevie Shears had been in Ultravox! and Cowboys International, when suddenly Faith Global was formed in the early 1980s.
Shears met Guy after being sacked by Ultravox in 1978 and deciding to form a band Ice, bassist Gloria Mundi; Shears and Guy formed New Men. The band didn't last long, so Shears went to Cowboys International and Guy formed another band, but continued to maintain contacts. Later Survival Records (label founded by the duo Drinking Electricity) offered them money to work in the studio.
In Survival, recorded and released an EP called Earth Report in 1982 and the album The Same Mistakes in 1983. Shortly afterwards, it seems Faith Global split up. Shears continues playing guitar, but retired from the music business, while the whereabouts of Guy are unknown.
