Mega City Four special with Gerry Bryant in conversation with David Eastaugh  The group were officially formed in 1987 and the band's career started with performing gigs around their local town of Farnborough before making their vinyl debut in September 1987 with "Miles Apart"/"Running in Darkness". The single led to a round of gigs with fellow punk-influenced bands like Senseless Things and Snuff. "Miles Apart" and "Running" were reissued (separately) in 1988 on the independent label Decoy, along with the more melodic "Distant Relatives" and "Less Than Senseless". A healthy following latched on to them quickly, and by 1988 the group were performing to packed audiences on a regular basis. Continuing on their local success, the band would eventually release their 1989 debut album, Tranzophobia The band continued to tour extensively in the UK, Europe and North America, working with bands including Les Thugs, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine and Doughboys, amongst many others. The band's second studio album, Who Cares Wins, was released in 1990.[2] Extensive touring across Europe began again, with the band performing in the Reading Festival that year. Who Cares Wins was followed by a compilation album of their early 7" singles, called Terribly Sorry Bob (1991). The band subsequently moved to a major record label to record two further studio albums, Sebastopol Rd. (1992) (recorded by Jessica Corcoran at London's Greenhouse Recording Studios) and Magic Bullets (1993). This album produced the singles "Wallflower" and "Iron Sky", which both placed 69 and 48 in the UK Singles Chart respectively. After falling out with their record label, they moved to Fire Records to record their final studio album, Soulscraper (1996). In addition to their studio albums, the band also released a live album, a Peel Sessionsdisc, and a number of singles. The British music journalist, Martin Roach, wrote a biography of the band, Mega City Four: Tall Stories and Creepy Crawlies, published in 1993.

Their self-titled debut album and its breakthrough single “No Rain” put Blind Melon on the charts. A little alternative, a little hippie throwback, and maybe a little southern rock, Blind Melon is headed by frontman Shannon Hoon. Born in Indianapolis, Hoon was practically born a rock star, with the vocal chops and (unfortunately) the lifestyle to match. Hoon moved to Los Angeles where he formed the band with bassist Brad Smith, percussionist Glenn Graham, and guitarists Stevens Rogers (lead) and Christopher Thorn (rhythm). Some of that “southern roots” feel may come from the fact that three of the band members are from Mississippi, and that much of the work on the album took place in Durham, North Carolina.Our research suggests the name Blind Melon may come from Mississippi stoners, or from the Cheech & Chong character “Blind Melon Chitlin.”The success of the album led to extensive touring, and unfortunately to problems that Shannon Hoon would experience with drug and alcohol abuse. Hoon checked into rehab multiple times, but unfortunately succumbed to a drug overdose in New Orleans while touring for their second album in 1995. He was only 28.Despite being defined as alternative rock, this first album has a 70's feel. That may be attributed to the use of antiquated amplifiers and technology, and only sparing use of overdubs. The album sound is very much representative of what you would hear in a live performance.We hope you enjoy this dive into a band whose trajectory was cut tragically short. I WonderThis track starts off with a quiet acoustic beat, then moves to a classic alternative beat. The song is about addiction and trying to get over it - along the lines of feeling judged. “...now they're watching everything I do - everything I say...”HolymanAn anti-religious song, perhaps inspired by Hoon's encounter with people encouraging him to go to church. They wanted him to find an anchor in spirituality. Hoon was very intense, and embraced the rock and roll lifestyle, a “heartbreaking cycle of drug use.”ChangeThis track is considered to be the most personal look at Shannon Hoon. Written long before the formation of the band, Hoon's mother would later recall him playing this song on the porch of their house in Indiana. “Keep on dreaming, because when you stop dreaming it's time to die.”No RainThis is the hit that would put Blind Melon over the top, especially with the “bee video” which made them famous. The “bee girl” on the album cover was inspired by an old picture of drummer Glenn Graham's sister. The bee girl in the video was played by Heather DeLoach (picked because she looked similar to the picture of Graham's sister). ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Love Potion No. 9  by The CloversThis romantic comedy film starred Sandra Bullock and Tate Donovan. Anne Bancroft was also in this film. STAFF PICKS:Walking On Broken Glass  by Annie LennoxRob's staff pick was from Lennox's solo album “Diva,” after her days with The Eurythmics. The video was a play on the film “Dangerous Liaisons,” complete with costumes - and John Malkovich! Though a pop song, there is a symphonic quality to it.Digging In The Dirt  by Peter GabrielBruce brings us the lead single from Gabriel's album “Us.” It explores issues in Gabriel's life, like the end of his relationship with Rosanna Arquette, and his desire to reconnect with his daughter. The video utilized a lot of stop motion, and won the Grammy award for best short form music video in 1993.Little Miss Can't Be Wrong  by The Spin DoctorsBrian's staff pick picks up the pace. Lead singer Chris Barron actually wrote this song about his stepmother, with whom he had a bad relationship. This was the first single from their debut album “Pocket Full of Kryptonite.”Not Sleeping Around   by Ned's Atomic DustbinWayne's deep track harkens back to the Manchester sound he enjoyed in the early 90's.  “The Neds” used two bass players to give them that driving sound.  They also impacted the apparel industry by producing over 80 t-shirt designs in 3 years! :-) INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Last Horizon  by Brian MayThis instrumental comes from the Queen alumnus and guitarist, Dr. Brian May (an actual PhD in astrophysics)

Mega City Four special with Danny Brown in conversation - talking about life in the band & much much more - with David Eastaugh  Mega City Four were an English indie rock band formed in Farnborough, Hampshire, who obtained popularity throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. Mega City Four consisted of guitarist and vocalist Wiz, his brother and rhythm guitarist Danny Brown, bassist Gerry Bryant and drummer Chris Jones. According to Uncut magazine, the group "earned a reputation across the globe as an exciting live band". Wiz and Bryant were in a band together at school called 'Stallion', who performed two shows together. One of the shows took place at Cove Secondary School (where "Stallion will come for you" stickers were handed out in an attempt to bolster the bands following) and the show was concluded when the school cut the power. Wiz, seeking more independence to write his own music, decided he wanted to form a new band with Bryant and Danny Brown, named 'Capricorn', after the brothers' shared the star sign. Capricorn formed in June 1982. They consisted of drummer Martin Steib, vocalist and guitarist Wiz, rhythm guitarist Danny and bassist Gerry. The band had a personal fallout in regards to musical direction and dissolved in 1986. A four-track demo was recorded in 1982, and they released one demo, titled 'The Good News Tape' in 1985. The trio of Gerry, Danny and Wiz maintained closeness and enlisted Chris Jones (who drummed in local band Exit East) to join their new group. The new name, initially suggested by Steib in the Capricorn era, was decided as Mega City Four. The group were officially formed in 1987 and the band's career started with performing gigs around their local town of Farnborough before making their vinyl debut in September 1987 with "Miles Apart"/"Running In Darkness"[2]. The single led to a round of gigs with fellow punk-influenced bands like Senseless Things and Snuff.
