Stylus (band)

According to rock music historian, Ian McFarlane, Stylus "scored a number of hit singles and became very popular on the Australian pub and concert circuit".

[1] Stylus were signed to WEA and, in June 1975, released their debut single, "Summer Breeze", which was a cover version of Seals & Croft's 1972 song.

[3][5] The group signed with the Oz label, run by Ross Wilson and Glenn Wheatley, and distributed by EMI.

[1] The album and its related singles received favourable reviews in music industry magazines, Cashbox and Billboard.

By mid-1978 Peter Roberts (ex-Ride Band) had joined on co-lead vocals and then Mark Meyer (Sailor) replaced Tattersall on drums.

[1] Prodigal was shelved by Motown in 1979, disrupting the Stylus-Motown relationship, just as tours with Hall & Oates and Earth Wind & Fire were proposed.

[1] In October 1981 he issued his debut solo album, Fear of Thunder, on the Full Moon label for Astor Records.

Late in 2001 Stylus reunited with the line-up of Cupples, Henderson, McNally, and Peers joined by David Jones on drums.

[8][9] In 2009, Toshiba-EMI requested a new studio album from Stylus, they had established a relationship with the band following the re-release of the original catalogue.
