In 1982 Lawrence and fellow band members Paul Ziesing and Greg Williams moved to Melbourne. The trio poached Greg Champion and Mick Teakle and established a new Young homebuyers in Melbourne. During this year negotiations with record label Rough Diamond and a publishing contract with Mushroom were forged. In 1983 the band began performing live and produced a set of new pop songs "distinguished by a rich guitar sound" (Day, 1987, p247).

In March 1983 they recorded an album titled Take one step, from which the title track was released as a single. Later a second single came out called She's a girl.

The band was applauded by critics for its honest, fresh approach, unfortunately public opinion was not as strong and PolyGram stopped distributing the Rough Diamond label , which led to the record failing to sell. Demoralised, the band split 18 months after it began (Day et al, 1987,p 247).

Williams and Lawrence surfaced later in the parody band, The latest thing from England. This venture did not last long, and Williams returned to Adelaide and joined Mark Duffy's band Sporting life and wrote songs with July 14's Terry Bradford. This writing partnership worked well and Greg and Terry formed pop quartet Play Loud to play their work.

Although beset by several line up changes, Play Loud did record four tracks , two of which came out as a belated single on Greasy Pop records in 1986 - Write it down in stone (which received significant air play on SA FM) and Treat it like any other day (Day et al, 1987, p 247).

Williams and Bradford have also recorded their compositions as the Every Brothers. The Every Brothers (known later as The Everys) released Picks and Pens, a 10 track limited-edition cassette in 1986; This town; 1988; Picks and Pens expanded CD release in 1997; Junk factory in 1998 and Tintinara Breakdown in 1999. David Sly in his Advertiser article (September 1986) describes The Everys sound as a "- a melding of raucous acoustic guitars and bass with vocal harmonies which the duo affectionately term "Australian country and white Anglican gospel''".

The Everys dissolved in 1989 and Greg Williams released his first solo album Here and now in 1990. In 1991 his second solo album Louder than words was released on Greasy Pop Records. Soon after this release Williams moved to Melbourne and concentrated on a solo performing career and writing. In 1997 he created contemporary Melbourne band Splurge.

Splurge's discography to date includes the self titled album Splurge released in 1999 Heavy weather in 2002 and The cure for the cure released in 2007. You can read and hear more from Splurge from their web and Myspace sites.
