Changing only their trousers and their minds, the various remaining members of Jet (not the Aussies, you recall) spontaneously became Radio Stars. Now keyboard-less, they began a series of releases on the Chiswick Records label and, against all the odds, became critical favourites.

Even more against the odds was their hit single and acclaimed album, followed by massive touring and another album. Bucking the then-current trend for predictable career paths, the band then divested itself of it's songwriter (Martin Gordon), bassist (Martin Gordon), producer (Martin Gordon) and conceptualist (see where we are going with this one?) in a vicious dental coup. Once again, failure was snatched at the last minute from the jaws of victory.

For a rather less partisan account, see below.
