Band History

The band was founded in the mid-1990s by brothers Danny and Richard McNamara, who subsequently found on a newspaper ad the drummer Michael Heaton and bassist Steven Firth. After Richard McNamara had written the song Retread, managed the band in 1996 recording contracts with hat Recordings ( Virgin Group ) and DGC Records negotiate.

The album Out of Nothing (English out of nowhere ) was followed.
