I'll never get all these songs posted if I don't pick up my socks...
It's hard to understand what happened to these guys but mostly they just went in a power pop direction and sadly left their grungy guitars behind. Sparkle & Fade was a great album with so much promise. So Much For The Afterglow... well that just resigned them to their fate. I suppose their sound was always a bit light, but to me it just faded into radio fluff. Most of the time it's a question of survival, especially for bands with multiple members dependent on making an income, sometimes to support a family. Damn the hits, damn the weather, and damn the torpedoes.
