Their first album '' success. Various line up changes prevented their next album (''Privilege'') from appearing until 1990. Their next album ''Closer to God'' was noticeably darker than previous work and tracks such as "My Very First Nervous Breakdown" hinted at previously unsuspected mental problems. The album ''Don't Cry Baby, It's Only A Movie'' was released in 1998 . Since then Treacy has battled Mental Health problems, and his addictions to Heroin , Amphetamine and Alcohol . He has been Homeless on various occasions and was briefly Arrested and Imprisoned in 2003/2004. However, since his release, Treacy has attempted to get his life back together and in February 2006 a new TVPs album '' My Dark Places '' was released. Despite their small sales the TVPs were very influential on British music in the 1980s, especially the so-called C86 generation and many of the bands on Creation Records . Morrissey and Kurt Cobain amongst others were fans. In an article in The Guardian on April 24 2006, it was implied that Dan Treacy is in some way behind the Arctic Monkeys , although this is based little more than a perceived similarity between their lyrical style and that of Dan Treacy, and the fact that the lead singer of Arctic Monkeys is mysteriously not credited with their songwriting. {Link without Title} EXTERNAL LINKS
