The group formed in Fulham, London and released their first album, Eventide (A Hymn For Change) in 1985. "A Stranger On Home Ground" comes from this LP (it was the second single, we believe). A second album (A Human Sound) following in 1987, but neither record broke through commercially, and the group broke up by the end of the decade.
We don't recall hearing this back in the day, but came across it while researching the blog and enjoyed it. This is a true rare video, from a unique band who never quite found their audience.
Cool trivia fact: In 2009, Billy Franks was the subject of a documentary called Tribute This! where he and three friends tried to recruit 10 famous artists to do a tribute album to ... Billy Franks. (Yes, really).
Cool song. Looks like they all shop at LL Bean.
