The debut album, "Script of the Bridge", was recorded in Rochdale during a six-week period. The band was really pissed when they found out about the reduced version which was released by MCA in the US. They then became unhappy with Statik and tried to get away from them, but were bound by contractual obligations. After their second album, "What Does Anything Mean? Basically", they signed with Geffen. While signed to Geffen, the band released what was to be their last album together for fifteen years, "Strange Times" as the band literally fell apart, acrimoniously, with grief after Tony's death.

The dawning of a new millenium saw an ending to the 'hostilities' as the band buried hatchets, kissed and made friends once more, culminating in a reforming of the group, and a new 'unplugged' album entitled 'Strip'. A triumphant, sold out, 5 day residency at their old stomping ground 'The Witchwood' in Ashton confirmed their old reputation for being one of the tightest live outfits ever.

Good morning! Your #postpunk song for today comes from another of my favorite bands: The Chameleons.And with that, I've got to go prep for two photo shoots I have today lie on the couch and moan because my tummy hurts.
