Background

The band embarked on a UK tour following the release of their debut album, and after a seven-month hiatus, returned with a new single - "Everybody Say Everybody Do" - which peaked at #29. Another seven months passed before a new single was released - a cover of the Bread track "Make It with You". The single reached #7 and gave the group their third Top 10 success.^[6] This was followed with "'Take It Easy" which peaked at #25.^[6]

The album Rollercoaster was released in September 1996, and peaked at #42, with sales of less than 30,000 copies. Two months later, a final single was released from the album in time for the Christmas market, but "Darling Be Home Soon" became one of the band's lowest charting singles reaching #65,^[6] and the band split up shortly afterwards. Wermerling joined the band Bottlefly, Rob Jeffrey continued playing guitar in other projects and Lee Murray became a DJ, session drummer, and has worked in management with Holly Valance, Kelly Brook and Page 3 model Keeley Hazell.
