Their 1983 release, Reach the Beach spawned the hit single, “Saved by Zero” and their highest charting single, “One Thing Leads to Another” which reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album went on to attain Platinum certification while hitting #8 on the Billboard 200. Additional hits from later albums included “Are We Ourselves?”, “Sunshine in the Shade”, “Deeper and Deeper”, “Built for the Future”, “Secret Separation” and “Driven Out”. Today’s line-up consists of Curnin, Woods, keyboardist Rupert Greenall, guitarist Jamie West-Oram and bassist Dan K. Brown.
