The band consisted of singer Jared Daley, guitarist Matt Pirt, bassist Jason Leggatt and drummer Jon Dodd.
Their inclusion of the song "Town Clowns" in the Rough Trade Singles Club caught the attention of several labels, and the band finally signed to China Records.
They released a single for China, "Don't Say You're Sorry", and then went to Fort Apache Studios in Boston, Massachusetts to record their debut album, The Signs Are All There.
The album was produced by Paul Q. Kolderie and Sean Slade, and was released in October 1995 on China Records/Atlantic Records.
Follow up single "Signs..." (the album's title track) was released at the start of June 1996 and reached #49.
