:''For the Curtis Mayfield song, see the album on which it appears, ''Super Fly'' (soundtrack). For a dealer of illegal drugs (denoted by the slang term), see Illegal drug trade.'' Pusherman was an alternative rock band from London, England. Formed in 1994, the band's lineup consisted of Andy Frank (vocals), Meredith "Yank" Reid (vocals, harmonica), Bo Ellery (bass), Martin Hoyland (guitar), Tony Antoniou (guitar) and Harry Harrison (drums). Pusherman were signed to Oasis manager Marcus Russell's Ignition Records label, who released their first single entitled "First Time" in November 1995. Another single, "Whole", a 12" vinyl single, was voted single of the week by the ''NME'', and though it was not available as a commercial release, it appeared on the NME 1996 cassette compilation ''Here Comes the Summer...'', and ''Volume'' magazine's ''Volume Sixteen: Copulation Explosion!'' compilation. The group's debut album, the Owen Morris-produced ''Floored'', was released in September 1996. In November of that year, the song "Sold" from the album appeared on the CMJ New Music Monthly compilation, while another single "The Aim Indeed" was included in the UK indie compilation ''Indie Top 20 Volume 23''. Partly due to its members' heroin use, Pusherman disbanded in 1997.〔(Jact )〕 At the time of their breakup, they were being filmed by British fimmaker and music video director Mark Szaszy and photographer Corinne Day for a planned "rockumentary".〔(Independent Film Quarterly - Interview with filmmaker MARK SZASZY and PHOTOGRAPHER CORINNE DAY )〕 Afterwards singer Andy Frank moved to Los Angeles to form the band Jact along with Ted Hutt.〔(Jact Interviews on Yahoo!
