Why they might be annoying:

They share their name with bands from Australia and New Zealand.
They may be the least hard-rocking band to have a member named ‘Spike.’
Delahunty either quit or was fired shortly after the release of their first album.
When their debut album was reissued, a new band photo without Delahunty was used for the cover.
On their last singles, they were billed as ‘Breathe featuring David Glasper.’

Why they might not be annoying:

The members of the band had attended school together.
They were the opening act on Belinda Carlisle’s UK tour (1987).
Their singles were written by members of the band.
They were the first act signed to A&M Records to have three top ten singles released from their debut album.
