Robinson - The Soup EP




ROBINSON
The Soup EP
1992 Great Expectations & Music

Notes :
Obscure early 90's indie band from Manchester, released one single "The Soup EP" in 1992.
Band members were Mano McLaughlin (vocals & guitar), Stephen Lowe (bass), Martin Wren (drums & vocals) and Andrew Melchior (keyboards).
Later changed their name to Fireproof and released one single "Real Life" in 1996 for Chrysalis.

I found info on Discogs that Mano McLaughlin and Stephen Lowe, together with Alan Davidson on drums, released two singles as Mr Robinson, first single was "Gavin Give Me The Gun" released in 1989, second was called "Star" released in 1990, both on Lonesome Records. It's obvious that they started as Mr Robinson, later changed their name to Robinson.

Two of the band members, Martin Wren & Andrew Melchior during the early 90's were in other band called Obimen and released two singles ''Gotta See Jane" and "My Friend Jack", both in 1991 for Receiver Records Limited.
Very interesting band, there are two videos on youtube, i want this band for my collection, if anyone have copies, please leave comment.

01. Soup
02. Fishing
03. Blowholes
04. Soiled
