The group consisted of synthesiser-keyboardists Stuart McCarthy, Steve Younan, Sameer Sen-Gupta, and vocalist Melinda Page.
The group issued a six-track extended play, Fanatical, in 1993 on Volition Records/Second Nature,[2] which provided another 12-inch single, "Get Down", later that year.
Southend has produced local and international releases for Hoodoo Gurus, Paul Holden, Acid Babies, the Whitlams, Kim Salmon, and Michal Nicholas.
They undertook a remix collaboration with Sasha Vatoff on Vagen's track, "Buggin", and a cover of Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy", which appeared on Groovescooter Records' compilation album by various artists, Re:fashioned 2.
Records has released Southend's entire back catalogue (including previously unreleased material) through MGM Distribution and iTunes.
