The band formed in Rugby in 1989 and was led by Pete Bain (aka Bassman), who had left Spacemen 3 just before their 1989 album Playing With Fire.
Vocals were initially handled by Nick Hayden, but his departure forced Bain to assume that role.
[2] The group debuted in April 1990 with the single "High Rise Love", which was followed by "Waiting for the Angels" and the album, All That Noise.
[1] With the departure of guitarist Kevin Cowen following the LP's release, Bain then assumed guitar duties for the EP Mayhem to Meditate.
In 2017, the group released the five-disc box set Complete Studio Masters featuring nearly the entirety of its discography remastered, excepting the songs from "High Rise Love."
