R.O.C.

R.O.C. are a British electronica group, founded in 1990 by Fred Browning and Patrick Nicholson in London, England. They were later joined by Karen Sheridan (from Denver, USA) in 1993. The group have released three albums (on the Virgin, Setanta and 12 Apostles labels) and 15 singles/EPs. Producer Danton Supple (Coldplay/Patti Smith) later joined in 2017. The group still continues making music.

Girl With A Crooked Eye' made 1994's John Peel's Festive 50 and earned R.O.C a session on the dj's Radio 1 show. Their releases revealed R.O.C's disregard for genres, throwing rock, dance, spoken-word and noise influences at their evolving songs. Airing their Radio 1 session, Peel said '"you never know what you're gonna get next from this lot, do you? I'm all in favour of that." However, by the time the group released their 1997 album, Virgin, which ironically was the name of Richard Branson's label they recently joined, Peel had moved on to other artists.
