Annotation
This British indie/jangle pop band formed in Basingstoke, Hampshire, featuring Chris Morrell (drums, vocals), Nigel Rivers (bass), and Clive Stubbings (guitar). After Rivers left the band, they re-formed under the name The Rain. (1) (2) Their first single "Talking Kent State" (Summershine Records # SHINE 017) supposedly reflects on the aftermath of the Kent State shootings, as two people took an Autumn stroll.
