Did they? I seem to remember at the time they got in the top forty with singles from the first album, but none of them went very high. By hits I meant more top ten really I suppose. I suppose one of the songs from the second album must have done okay, I seem to remember Smack The Pony doing a spoof song to it.
EDIT:
It seems the highest placed single off that first album reached 24, and only one other single broke the top thirty. Those should have been big top ten hits for sure!
One band I have a soft spot for is Silver Sun, who released their first album in about '97. I still listen to them quite a bit.
Ultrasound, there was another good band.
And The Band. Critically acclaimed, but not a lot of people seem to know them much, or have any of their albums; though they'll almost certainly have heard some of their songs, perhaps without realising who it is who plays it. Everyone knows the other biggies from the period. The Band are one of my favourite, um, bands.
