genre. The band was formed in 1989 by brothers Neil and Nick Singleton (guitar and bass, respectively) together with drummer Steve Scott and vocalist Salli Carson. Their first release was the ''Eclipse'' EP in 1990, followed in 1991 by the ''Snag'' EP. The tracks from these two EPs were collected on an album in 1991. 1992 saw the release of the full-length album ''Killing Time'', and the single "Shotgun", a surprising mixture of shoegazing and rap. In 1993 the band released two separate mini-albums, ''Hard'' and ''Fast''. The group disbanded shortly thereafter. The band reunited for two live shows in summer 2015; one a private event and one in their original hometown of Ipswich on 27 June, at St Peter's by the Waterfront.
