Cordrazine formed in mid-1996 as a rock music band in Melbourne, Victoria, with Chris Ambrose on bass guitar, Hamish Cowan (ex-Blindside) as lead singer-songwriter and guitarist, and Rohan Heddle on drums.
They were soon joined by Sam Holloway on keyboards and played in the local pub rock scene.
They signed with the Rubber label and released their debut Extended Play (EP), Time to Leave, in May 1997, which peaked at No.
"Memorial Drive" was released in February 1998 ahead of their debut album, From Here to Wherever, in April.
