History of Mice
Mice were formed in 1995 by (then) ex-All About Eve lead singer Julianne Regan and ex-Powder bassist Tim McTighe. The band also featured former Levitiation guitarist Christian Hayes (aka Bic), as well as (ex-All About Eve) drummer Mark Price (at that point in time, Regan's brother-in-law). As well as these permanent members, Mice also featured many collaborations, including other former members of All About Eve, Marty Willson-Piper and Andy Cousin.
Mice released their first single Mat's Prozac in November 1995, a second single The Milkman in early 1996, a third and final single Dear Sir in July, and this album in August of that year. The band also extensively toured the country during 1996. Unfortunately (the somewhat misnamed) Permanent Records went bankrupt in 1997 owing the band a lot of money, and the album (despite having made the Indie Top 10 in the UK) and its singles were left hanging in the shops without replacement or support. Mice disbanded shortly afterwards.

“The history of reform is always identical; it is the comparison of the idea with the fact. Our modes of living are not agreeable to our imagination. We suspect they are unworthy. We arraign our daily employments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“And the sun and the stove and the mice and the gnawed paper
Made up the days and nights when I missed supper,
Paring my nails, looking over the farbelow street
Of tramways and bells. But one night I heard the feet.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
