(2003) ''The Great Indie Discography'', Canongate, ISBN 1-84195-335-0〕 They enjoyed some success on the dance chart on their original Y Records label, and had a string of hits on the UK Indie Chart, while their debut album, ''Care'' (1983) was picked up by Warner in the United States.〔 They left Y for Arista Records for 1984's ''Jam Science'', also recruiting drummer Martyn Barker.〔 The album reached number 85 on the UK Albums Chart, and the single "Hand on my Heart" charted in the Top 60 in the UK.〔 They recorded the 1985 album ''Oil & Gold'' on Arista (released on Island Records in the USA).〔(Shriekback – Oil And Gold ) discogs.com, retrieved 4 November 2015〕 Marsh left Shriekback during the recording of ''Oil & Gold'' and was replaced on guitar by Mike Cozzi,〔 with Andrews taking over lead vocals. Shriekback also left Arista and signed to Island Records for whom they recorded the 1986 album ''Big Night Music'', after which Allen left to rejoin Gang of Four, and Shriekback remained a collaborative centred on Andrews. Allen would also go on to play in King Swamp and The Elastic Purejoy. Marsh was also in the band Happyhead. After a further album in 1988, ''Go Bang!'', the band split up. Andrews continued working on other projects before re-forming Shriekback in 1992, although after the single "The Bastard Sons of Enoch" and album ''Sacred City'', there would be no further releases until 2000's ''Naked Apes & Pond Life'' album. Both Allen and Marsh returned to the studio to contribute to the recording of Shriekback's 2003 release ''Having a Moment''. Since ''Having a Moment'', Andrews has recorded three albums for Malicious Damage (Killing Joke's original label) under the Shriekback moniker. Film director Michael Mann was a fan of Shriekback, and used several of their songs in his films ''Manhunter'' and ''Band of the Hand'', and in his television series ''Miami Vice''. Shriekback are still actively producing music. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shriekback」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
