The line-up of the band at the time of their first album was:
Joby Fox left the band after the first album and was replaced by Steve Lawrence. He also left after playing on only one album, after which Spade McQuaid switched to bass. The first single, ''Belfast'', was released in 1990 on MCA Records , followed up with ''Sailortown''. The first album, ''Energy Orchard'', was released to some critical appreciation, but with some reservations about it being overproduced (producer was Mick Glossop ), somewhat diluting the band's raw live sound. Subsequent albums compensated for this, the 1992 release ''Stop the Machine'', 1993 's '' Shinola '' (released on Essential Records ), ''Painkiller'' ( 1995 ) and a 1996 live album. Despite extensive touring, the breakthrough to mainstream success eluded them. The band were dropped in 1996 and subsequently disbanded, though Bap went on to have some success with a solo career. |
