1990s that was signed toLondon Records . The group was an offshoot ofJimmy Sommerville 's bandThe Communards , and featured one of his female backing musicians Sally Herbert, along with shaven headedsinger Caroline Buckley.The band is mostly remembered for its
hit single "This Is Your Life", written with songwriterRoger Swallow , and theTop 40 album "Ripe"; whilst follow up singles "She Sells" and "May This Be Your Last Sorrow" failed to build much momentum for the group, and their work was short lived.They appeared on
BBC One 's "Top of The Pops " on the21 March 1991 , alongsidePet Shop Boys andMegadeth . "This Is Your Life" contains samples of the song "Crack Attack" byGrace Jones from her 1989 album "Bulletproof Heart". The beginning of the Banderas song strongly plays the opening of the Jones song, and if you listen closely, you can hear a muffled, garbled or altered vocal of Jones very faintly in the rhythm and beats.Discography
