The band, featuring Chris Thomson (vocals, guitar), James Grant (guitar, vocals), Paul McGeechan (keyboards), Neil Cunningham (bass), and Stuart Kerr (drums), crafted a distinctive sound that resonated with fans and critics alike. Their 1984 album, *Trapped & Unwrapped*, showcased standout tracks like "State of Art" and "Sunkissed," cementing their place in Scotland's musical heritage.
