Comments
Reggae/pop band formed in Birmingham. In January 2008, frontman Ali Campbell left the band, followed shortly thereafter by keyboardist Mickey Virtue and Astro in November 2013. The following year, legal advice was sought by the original band (along with new vocalist Duncan Campbell) against the group containing Campbell, Virtue and Astro over usage of the band name, due to it being used by both parties.
