TRB was formed in
early 1977 and after
much press coverage
signed to EMI Records
that summer. The debut
single 2-4-6-8 Motorway
was a UK hit, along
with the followup
EP which included
a song called Glad
To Be Gay, causing
still more press coverage.
Sex Pistols producer
Chris Thomas produced
the debut album Power
In The Darkness which
went gold and the
group released one
further album, TRB
TWO (produced by Todd
Rundgren), before
falling apart in 1979.
The band re-formed
for two shows in 1987,
and then again briefly
between 1989-90. For
more detailed biography
