The Parachute Men ‎- Bed And Breakfast [12''] (1989)

Formed in Leeds, Yorkshire, England, in 1985 by Fiona Gregg (vocals), Stephen H. Gregg (guitar), Andrew Howes (bass) and Mark Boyce (drums), The Parachute Men proved to have a bat’s ear for a tune, yet were persistently undersold by circumstance. Signing to Fire Records in 1987 was a promising move, particularly when ‘The Innocents’ was released to warm approval, but shortly afterwards, Howes and Boyce departed acrimoniously, leaving Fiona and Stephen H. Gregg to tour as an acoustic set-up until Matthew Parkin (bass) and Paul Walker (drums) filled the vacancies. The second album was released well over a year after it was recorded, costing the band valuable momentum and causing Parkin to be replaced by Colleen Browne, but The Parachute Men continued to create lovingly textured guitar sounds. However, the lack of media focus, undoubtedly exacerbated by their northern location, ensured that their talents remained the knowledge of a privileged few, and they disbanded soon after the release of 'Earth, Dogs And Eggshells'.
