Breed

:(This page is about the indie rock band. For the new wave band of the same name, see Breed(2)).
Breed were an indie rock band founded in the north west of England during the late 80's by Andrew Park, Steve Hewitt and Simon Breed, whose surname the band named after. The group made two albums and several singles. Following a completion of a tour, Hewitt joined The Boo Radleys on a temporary basis and played on the band's 1990 debut album, Ichabod and I. Hewitt rejoined Breed in 1991 and played on the albums Grin in 1991 and Violet Sentimental in 1993. Despite a support slot on Nick Cave's Let Love In tour, Breed found commercial success elusive and following a disastrous gig at the Bull & Gate in London in 1996, the band split. Hewitt later joined Placebo and then finally Love Amongst Ruin.

The band got regular airplay by Peel in the early 90's who was a fan of the group's music, even inviting the band to do four sessions for his programmes, which they did.
