About the artist

The members of the band – James Stewart (vocals), Paul Tizzard (drums), Johan "Yo-Yo" Buys (bass and, er, yo-yos) and Tom Fox (guitars). Their first two EPs were ('Six Songs From The Inside' and ' Like A Vision'). They headed off to Reggie Bowman's Melbourne studios to record their full length album 'Born in a Storm'. It was Bright Blue who initially pioneered this Cape kwela-pop sound, but it's The Usual who has carried the torch since Bright Blue mostly disappeared.
