On their debut they were a trio comprised of Sergio Galli on guitar and backing vocals, Mark Holmes fronted the band and sang lead vocals played bass and keyboards while Chris Steffler laid down the beat. It was a solid release and sold a couple of hundred thousand copies, which is lot in a small market country. When it was time for a follow up, the band brought in Kenny MacLean to take over bass and keyboards so that Mark could focus on being a front man. It worked.
