The group was formed in 1988 in Winnipeg, Manitoba by vocalist Daniel Greaves, guitarist Joey Serlin, bassist Pete Loewen and drummer
Sammy Kohn. They released their debut album, ''McLaren Furnace Room'', in 1992. (The album was named for one of the band's rehearsal spaces, the furnace room of an apartment building on McLaren Avenue in Winnipeg.) The single "Cracked" garnered the band significant airplay on rock stations, but was quickly eclipsed by the anti-spousal abuse anthem "Run and Hide", which became the band's breakthrough hit.
Loewen left the band, and was replaced by
Ken Tizzard. The band's 1994 album ''In the Trees'' confirmed their place in Canadian rock with the hit singles "Boneyard Tree", "All Uncovered" and "Lusitana".
"Zoom", "Incarnate" and "Shut Up" were successful singles. 1998's ''Silent Radar'' was the band's return to commercial success, with the hit singles "Stereo", "Any Day Now" and "Brighter Hell".
Their 2001 album ''Slomotion'' saw the exit of Sammy Kohn and the remaining members experimenting with more industrial textures. The band also packaged the album with a second greatest hits disc.
The band subsequently broke up. Greaves went on to form Doctor with Rob Higgins, Tizzard joined Thornley, and has now moved on to a solo venture, Kohn had most recently been the driving force behind Left of the sun, and has also moved on to pursue other endeavors Serlin appeared on Ryan Malcolm's debut album before forming his own new band, Redline.
I wish I had the opportunity to see you guys live, silent radar would by far be the most played CD I own, I find every song amazing and even to this day listen to them constantly
Awesome show in Burlington, thanks for taking the time to talk a bit after the show. I can't wait to hear some more new music, and I hope we all see you guys soon. Peace
Last night's concert in London, ON was great. Great to hear the old tunes (and the singing from the crowd) as well as the new songs. Looking forward to more.
