Background notes
Archive material and source history
Eruption was a British band that formed in 1974 and had their biggest moment with the 1979 single 'One Way Ticket.' The song became a chart hit, mixing reggae with rock and funk elements. Their sound was built around Presley Chisolm's lead vocals and included songs like 'I Can't Stand The Rain' and 'Runaway.'
They released several albums in the early 1980s, including 'Leave the Gun' and 'Fight Fire with Fire,' which showed them moving toward harder rock. The band's lineup featured John Earle on guitar, Dave Peck on bass, and Paul Avory on drums. Their recordings from that period capture a group working through different styles while keeping a rhythmic, groove-oriented approach.
Chisolm's struggles with heroin addiction affected the band's stability, and they faced management and financial problems despite having commercial success. Eruption's catalog, particularly 'One Way Ticket,' still gets played, but their active period was relatively brief and marked by those internal challenges.
