Hunger Project was a proto-punk group formed by Timmins and Anton in March 1981. Frustrated with the Toronto music scene they moved to New York where they worked small jobs and played occasional gigs at places like CBGB's. They eventually relocated to London, England but met with the same frustrations leading to the band break-up within three months after arriving.
Timmins, Anton and Railton decided to form an experimental act called Germinal whose focus would be on recordings and not live performing. They formed their own label, Latent Recordings, with graphic designer Brent Wickens (Spoons/Ceramic Hello) to release Germinal product. In 1984 they would even release a Hunger Project retrospective EP from recordings they had made in March 1982.
After returning to Toronto in 1985 after the demise of Germinal, Timmins and Anton founded the Cowboy Junkies with Michael's two brothers, John and Peter, and sister Margo; Railton has remained in England; Dawson-Whisker now lives in Sooke, BC.
