The band produced four singles, an EP and two albums, the second of which, “Gimp” was produced by Jim Shaw of Cranes.[1] The debut single “Run To The Stranger” was a New Musical Express Single of the Week and reached number 13 in the Alternative/Indie chart. Two sessions were recorded for BBC Radio One and broadcast on the John Peel and Andy Kershaw shows.

Heavy Straighter

by: Silence

It's hard, nowadays
to recognize
an honest thought,
a good advice
You've been kissed by Judas
in the name of Christ
Now, before trusting
Thomas thinks twice
You've been there before
Therefore never more
You learn their ways
Cover your tracks
The best defence
is to attack
Either this
or forever watch your back
As the truthful asshole
slowly dies
a master is born
of disguise
But suddenly you realize
You're proudly bathing
in the dirt of your own lies
Just like they did
Just like they did
And from this point
there's no return
You're trapped in their world
by the bridges you've burned
See you later,
