The Outfield were an English rock band based in London, England. The band achieved success in the mid-1980s and are best remembered for
their hit single, "Your Love". The band's lineup consisted of guitarist John Spinks, vocalist and bassist Tony Lewis, and drummer Alan
Jackman.
They had an unusual experience for a British band in that they enjoyed commercial success in the US, but never in their homeland. The band
began recording during the mid-1980s, and released their first album, Play Deep, in 1985 through Columbia Records. The album
reached No. 9 on the Billboard 200 list and then reached triple platinum in the United States. The band's single "Your Love" reached No.
6 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as No. 7 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and it became their signature song. The band continued to
record and tour through the 1980s and then into the early 1990s. While subsequent albums Bangin' (1987) and Voices of Babylon
(1989) saw some chart successes, the group's popularity waned.
Drummer Alan Jackman left and, now as a duo, they recorded Diamond Days in 1991. After the disappointing response to their 1992
album Rockeye, which represented a shift towards progressive rock and arena rock, the group essentially disbanded in the 90s. They
resumed touring in 1998, and thereafter released two live albums via their website, along with a new studio album, Any Time Now in
2004, which was later re-released in 2006. In 2011, the band released their final album, Replay, with original drummer Alan Jackman
re-joining the band. Spinks died in 2014, after which the group officially disbanded. On March 22, 2018, lead singer/bassist Tony Lewis
announced a solo album called Out of the Darkness, which was released on June 29, 2018 through Madison Records.
