After the final dissolution of the Pumps-turned-Orphan, lead singer for the band, Burke-Gaffney, took some time off and then began gigging around Winnipeg and points west. After playing live again for awhile he began writing new original material, music that was a far cry from Orphan's more keyboard-oriented new wave pop. Recruiting Depape, Player and Norman Taylor, Burke-Gaffney landed the quartet a deal with Anthem Records and recording began in Toronto. Veteran producer Tom Tremeuth was brought on board which resulted in an eponymous effort that rocked harder than most music being released in 1993. Airplay on the first single, "Dial L.O.V.E.", was strong in key markets across the country but failed to make the band a household name.
Chris-Burke Gaffney in recent years became a prominent songwriter for the likes of Chantal Kreviazuk and currently manages prairie teen sensations McMaster & James with Glen Willows.
