Description :

Tracks: State of confusion -- What if I -- Home -- When all the world was young -- Back to yourself -- Cornerstone


Established in 1987 and described by Spencer as 'melodic guitar pop'. A review of the 'Back to yourself' album released in 1988 describes the album: 'The subject matter of the six songs jumps from love to nostalgia, written with an unpretentious naivety which is especially refreshing. Its most attractive aspect is the way it combines a catchy pop quality with a rough, slightly under-produced sound, heard most clearly on What If I and on the title track'.

Members of the band included Rohan Belton, Trevor Comely, Tony Dyer, Dave Gray and Jason Kilic.

Rohan Belton played in several Adelaide bands including the Dust Collection, the Garden Path, the Verge and is currently playing in Queensland band Trailer Park. Dave Gray is in Rocket Science.
