Об исполнителе:
The Raw Herbs were a band formed in Leytonstone in the East of London during 1986. They signed to Manchester-based Medium Cool Records. In their too brief life as a band they released just four singles (including a number 19 hit on the UK Indie Chart in 1987 with "Don't Bury Me Yet") as well as appearing on a few Compilation albums and cassettes. The band were played regularly on the Radio and recorded a session for Janice Long’s Radio One show. Their music epitomised the jangly 80s “indie pop” of the time. The band comprised Derek Parker (vocals, guitar), Kevin Bache (guitar), Steven Archibald (bass), and Brian Alexis (drums). The band split up in 1988 and lead singer Derek went onto front a new band called Horse Latitudes who released the album “September Songs”. Brian Alexis, who had taken up teaching after receiving a degree in psychology at UEL, died on 17 May 2011 after suffering a deep vein thrombosis.
