History

Cordrazine formed in mid-1996 as a rock music band in Melbourne, Victoria with Chris Ambrose on bass guitar, Hamish Cowan (ex-Blindside) as lead singer-songwriter and guitarist, and Rohan Heddle on drums. They were soon joined by Sam Holloway on keyboards and played in the local pub rock scene. They signed with the Rubber label and released their debut Extended Play (EP), Time to Leave in May 1997, which peaked at No. 42 on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Singles Chart.[1][2] It featured the track, "Crazy" which was placed at No. 17 on radio station Triple J's Hottest 100 in 1997.[4]

"Clearlight", their next single, was released in August but did not reach the top 50. "Memorial Drive" was released in February 1998 ahead of their debut album, From Here to Wherever in April.[1] The album peaked at No. 9 on the ARIA Albums Chart,[2] and was nominated for 'Breakthrough Artist - Album' at the ARIA Music Awards for 1998.[3] Cordrazine had recorded a cover of the Hal David, Burt Bacharach song "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head for a tribute album, To Hal and Bacharach released by Warner Music Group also in April.
