History
The band's line-up, after an early experimental version of the band that included a saxophonist, comprised Paul Bardsley (vocals), Phil Murphy (guitar), Neil Daly (bass guitar), and Andy Pickering (drums). They were compared to bands such as Magazine, with Bardsley often likened to Mark E. Smith. They signed for Manchester independent label Playtime Records, and released their debut single, "Taste of You", in March 1993;. Two more singles followed before the release of the album Sulk in November 1993. The album was issued in the United States in February 1994 by Columbia Records. Daly left the band and was replaced by Graham Atkinson, and the band left Playtime to sign for Columbia in the UK. The band's second single for Columbia, "Shine", reached number 73 in the UK Singles Chart. A second album, Dunce, produced by Craig Leon and released in July 1995, failed to achieve commercial success saw the band dropped by Columbia and they subsequently split up.
Bardsley and Murphy later formed Wireless, releasing a self-titled album in 1998.
