The Front was formed from a couple of local Miami based bands.

Greg Mclaughlin and Larry Hill emerged from Tar & the Nicotines
Randy Rush, Steve Myers, and Flynn Picardal from The Probes.

The Front's very first major gig was opening up for ULTRAVOX.

With their then manager Warren Tepper they went on a 3 year spree of playing everywhere they could at both high level and low level gigs.

All along truely developing a unique punk / new wave / F U !!!!
sort of style.. all their own.

Greg McLaughlin
Lead vocals, occasional synth & composition
Randy Rush

The Front went on to open up for a number of major label acts in their short 3 year period on the radar screen. In that time they developed a cult following and were on the way to emerging as a force to be reckoned with but as John Lennon said "Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans".

So here is the first installment of a band
that should have made it all the way.

In their short lifespan as a viable act they opened for many established bands.

A few of them were U2, The Psychedelic Furs, The Go Go's, Bow Wow Wow, The Missing Persons, Ultravox, The Vapors (turning Japanese) to name a few.


This record is a tribute to the Late Randy Rush
(lead guitarist-co-composer)

Passed away in April of 2000.
 


However there just might be a new Front record on the horizon
one never knows.

So we release this 1st record as the essence of The Front, a tribute to Randy's talents .
