In 1997 Tony Mortimer decided to leave the band due to some tension between its members. During this time the band was touring a lot and even visited the Sports Complex “Olimpijski” in Russia. The next 2 albums “Steam” and “Up All Night”, released in 19 were equally successful. The secret to such success was not only in their cool look, but also in their lyrics – they contained political content on the most current topics: war, peace, equality, love etc. The singles from their debut album “Walthamstow” (named after their home town) were coming out of every single speaker and radio station, and the song “It’s Alright” quickly became number 1 hit in Britain, as well as in Europe and Australia. In a few years those bad boys with tattoos took over the absolute hit chart leaders of the time – boy band «Take That» with by Robbie Williams. The music was described as “political, strong and stylish”. It was not long till the talented band became really popular and gained a huge fan following.
