After signing, Patrick Andrew suggested the band change the name to "Pray for Rain" after a line from a poem.
In 1993, PFR released their second album, Goldie's Last Day, whose title track was inspired by the passing of Patrick Andrew's pet golden retriever.
In 2000, when Mark Nash was working as the A & R director of Squint Records, the band returned to the studio to contribute to Steve Taylor's Roaring Lambs compilation album, inspired by the book by Bob Briner.
The album did not gain much exposure, however, due to Squint Records selling to another company, which also displaced artists such as Chevelle and Sixpence None the Richer.
[2] In 2002, PFR recorded a cover of "Livin' Thing", originally by Electric Light Orchestra.
This was the first album produced by the band alone, and features the song "Prayer For Beslan," a song mourning the terrorist attacks on a Russian school the same week the band was recording.The Bookhouse Recordings was released exclusively through Family Christian Stores, and was on the FUSEIC label started by Rick Altizer.
[5] Technical problems kept the project from being released on time and Joel Hanson announced on October 16, 2013 that the band had once again disbanded.
