Succinctly named UK band that attempted to cash in on the late 90s commercial success of US pop/punk bands such as the Offspring, Smash Mouth and Blink-182. The band was the brainchild of the three Perry siblings, twins Jason (vocals) and Adam (drums), and their younger brother Giles (keyboards). Born in Leeds, the teenage brothers later moved south to Suffolk where they formed a band called Grand Designs with Mark Chapman (b. England; guitar) and Stevie Swindon (bass). The band relocated to London in 1993 and renamed themselves A. Borrowing money to construct their own studio, they recorded several demos and built up a devoted live following before signing to London Records in early 1997. New bass player Daniel P. Carter joined a couple of months later. The new line-up set about recording their first album, a riotous collection of brief, melodic songs epitomised by the relentlessly upbeat "Cheeky Monkey" and "Foghorn". Relentless touring followed as the band built up an enviable live reputation.
