Discography

The band have produced five albums:

• Everyone's Got One
• On
• Lustra
• People Are Expensive
• Gravity Pulls

There is also a best-of album, I Can't Imagine The World Without Me.

Lyrically; the band were very much a product of their time, using upbeat pop/rock as the backdrop for a lyrical intensity and diversity rarely seen in the British Charts since the Britpop era. From their first single, realeased in 1993; Bellyache, which dealt with the emotional fall-out of abortion; it was clear that the band had a remit to be both confrontational and beautiful. Songs also typically dealt with issues of equality, particularly racial and sexual, and many songs appeared to rally against lad culture. This lead the band, and especially Madan, to be closely associated with the British music press driven 'riot grrl' sub-culture within the britpop scene.
