The Trash Can Sinatras were founded in 1987 by Frank Reader, brothers John and Stephen Douglas and Paul Livingston and George McDaid as a cover band. At a gig in a bar they were by Simon Dine, Go! Discovered discs and contracted.

In early 1990 they made with their first release Obscurity Knocks first attracted attention, although the EP missed the Top 75 on the British charts. The second song Only Tongue Can Tell, the precursor to their debut album, became a radio hit in the United States and came in the top 10 rock charts. The album Cake came then both in the UK and in the U.S. in the charts, where it stayed for 13 weeks.

Nevertheless, the success began to subside, and three years later her album A Happy Pocket was released only in the UK and brought them no further chart positions more. Then, when even the label changed hands, the band finally stood there without a record deal and went bankrupt with their own recording studio.
