After one album at Chrysalis, they were signed by Elektra in 1987 where they scored their biggest hit "Broken Land", a No.20 hit in the U.K. charts and the most played song on BBC Radio 1 in 1988. They released two albums at Elektra and for their fourth and last album they were signed at Polydor that included their reworking of Mamas & The Papas, 1966 classic "Monday Monday". Due to lack of success Polydor dropped them and soon after they disbanded. They regrouped briefly in 2007 and again in 2009 for some gigs in Belfast.
