Fine Young Cannibals

Fine Young Cannibals formed in Birmingham in 1984 with Roland Gift on vocals, Andy Cox on guitar, and David Steele on bass. Their first album came out in 1988, and the single 'She Drives Me Crazy' became a worldwide hit that year. They followed it with 'The Raw & the Cooked' in 1989, which included another big track, 'Good Thing.'

Their sound pulled from funk and soul but had a sharp, danceable pop edge. Songs like 'Johnny Come Home' and 'Don't Look Back' showed their knack for mixing upbeat rhythms with Gift's distinctive vocal delivery. They made three studio albums before splitting up in the early 1990s.

Even with a fairly brief run, their music stuck around. 'She Drives Me Crazy' still turns up on playlists and in movies, and the band's handful of hits have outlasted a lot of the era's flashier pop. They never made another record after 1992's 'Split,' but those late-80s singles kept their name familiar.
