wiki: After Asphalt Ribbons (Stuart Staples, Gaynor Backhouse, Gary Watt, Dave Boulter and Will Carless) released their first EP, "The Orchard" in 1989, Sounds magazine listed them as a 'name for 1990' and in the same week Melody Maker was touting them as "the first new band of this year to make the indie/mainstream crossover". With critical acclaim under their belt, Asphalt Ribbons became a six-piece during 1990, acquiring Craig Chettle (guitar), and recorded "Good Love", their second EP for In-Tape. The EP was produced by Jon Langford; artwork was by Wolfgang Buttress.
