Archive material and source history
The Lay formed in the early 1980s around brothers Chris and Colin Campbell. Their debut album 'Lost in the Wilderness' included the single 'Always Another Way,' which became one of their best-known songs. The band's lineup at that time included Andrew Rankine on keyboards and Stuart Stewart on drums.
They released several albums over the following years, including 'Call the Shots' and 'The Way We Are.' Other songs like 'Hands On' and 'If Tomorrow Comes' appeared in their catalog. The group experienced some lineup changes and internal tensions along the way.
Their music blended melodic rock with folk and pop elements. Chris Campbell handled lead vocals and guitar, while Colin Campbell played bass. They performed live shows that emphasized the straightforward energy of their material.
