In 1981, Andrew Geyer left the band. Guitarist Brian Unger, new lead singer Jon Carin and Rudy Perrone (who was previously in a
progressive rock band called Cathedral, with Mercury) joined the group. They signed to Capitol Records.
Their best-known single, "State of the Nation", broke through the European charts between 1983 and 1984, earning them a
place as the support act for artists auch as Billy Idol, Talk Talk and INXS. The second single from the same album, "Still of the
Night" was less successful. The band split in 1984. « hide |
