The band were favourites of UK DJ duo Mark and Lard, with them heading the influential "Hit The North Show" on BBC Radio Five.

[4] Sweet Jesus was signed to Rough Trade Records in the early 1990s, being tipped as "one-to-watch" by the music press[5] – along with Suede and PJ Harvey.

On 18 August 1991, the band performed at Manchester's Boardwalk venue, supported by the first live appearance Oasis.

In August of the same year, the band performed in the Session Tent at Reading Festival alongside Suede and Sunscreem.

[7] Despite the band's work with producers Ray Shulman[2] and Ian Broudie,[8] the collapse of Rough Trade resulted in the group's premature disbanding.
