Lloyd Cole and the Commotions

Lloyd Cole and the Commotions were a British rock/pop band that formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1982. Between 1984 and 1989, the band scored four Top 20 albums and five Top 40 singles in the UK; it also had success in several other countries including Australia, the Netherlands, Sweden and New Zealand. After they broke up in 1989, Cole embarked on a solo career but the band reformed briefly in 2004 to perform a 20th anniversary mini-tour of the UK and Ireland.
The band's 1984 single "Are You Ready to Be Heartbroken?", written by Cole and Neil Clark, was covered by Sandie Shaw, with her version being released in May 1986.
