History
As Hurricane Party (2003–2004)
Formed as Hurricane Party in 2003 by guitarist Jonny Rocker and manager Laurie Mansworth (who met in a guitar shop where Rocker worked), the band soon recruited Rob Randell (who had previously played with Rocker) and the rest of the bandmembers through adverts. The members bonded by taking influences from the same 1970s heavy metal and hard rock acts, such as Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith and Deep Purple.
On 10 July 2003 original vocalist Steve Pipe played his last gig as part of the band in London. (He later went on to front an outfit named Carmen Pimps). Following Pipe's departure, Hurricane Party briefly added a new vocalist named Cherry, though this didn't last long. In October 2003, Richie Heavenz joined the band as the new frontman, and played his first gig at JB's in Dudley.

Radio Star
by: Edwin McCainI tell you my story on VH1
And all of my personal hell
And how my dad beat me and how much he drank
Do you think it'll help my records sell
Cause I'm the radio star with the cars and the clothes
The fancy guitars and the spoon in my nose
You know in my world now anything goes
You all want to be me, and I'll be gone in a week
Hang out with Britney and Fred Durst
Arrive in a limo, I'll leave in a hearse
And I can't decide now which part is worse
Losing my life to the game, or losing the fortune and fame
Cause I'm the radio star with the cars and the clothes
The fancy guitars and the spoon in my nose
You know in my world now anything goes
You all want to be me, and I'll be gone in a week
You put me on TV with all the cool stars
Like Letterman, Conan and Jay
Cause we're all experts at the art of PR
And nobody knows that I'm gay
I'm the radio star with the cars and the clothes
The fancy guitars and the spoon in my nose
You know in my world now anything goes
You all want to be me, and I'll be gone in a week
I'm the radio star
I'm the radio star
I'm the radio star
