Starclub's eponymous 1993 album, produced by Chris Hughes (Tears for Fears, Adam and the Ants),[1] was recorded with several different drummers, but Alan White was recruited as a full-time member and toured with the band that year.
In March 1993, Washington Post critic Mike Joyce said, ""Britain's Starclub has a similarly expansive view of the pop-rock world, though it is not nearly as fond of Top 40 novelties.
Because lead singer Owen Vyse sounds a lot like Paul Rodgers, comparisons with the British bands Free and Bad Company are inevitable, but Starclub's new self-titled album (on Island) is eclectic enough to make the reference moot".
Paint recorded for the Sacred label, but distributor Sony pulled the single before its release for unknown reasons.
Vyse also played with Echo & the Bunnymen, and wrote and recorded with other artists for film and TV, including the movies The Crush (1993) and Still Crazy (1998) as well as the Channel 4 series The Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star (1998).
