About final academy
Formed in 1983 by ex Playthings, John Cusack and Steve Greenland ..keyboards and drums respectively, Grev Parker on bass, Neil Newman ( later Michael Parker) on guitar and vocalist Colin Wade. Influenced by contemporaries such as Ultravox, Talk Talk, Japan and Simple Minds the band started writing and recording their own material. An early demo was heard by music publishers Carlin and with their input a single Night Cafe / The Collector was released in 1983. The band then embarked on a series of ever popular live shows at such established London venues as The Rock Garden, Le Beat Route and The Embassy Club and a cult following soon developed. Although later material was recorded by EMI, it was never officially released. The band continued their quest in the form of endless live performances until 1987 when the members disbanded to pursue other projects. As individuals Final Academy are still involved in the alternative music scene today, although often requested a reunion has not proved possible.
