Биография

Care were an New Wave band formed by Paul Simpson and Ian Broudie in 1983 in Liverpool, England. The band released singles in the 1980s, but soon broke up in 1985 when Simpson left. An album was recorded but has never been released. The singles; "Whatever Possessed You," "Flaming Sword" a top 50 single in the United Kingdom in 1983 and "My Boyish Days," were put out as an album which also included B-sides and unfinished demo's entitled Diamonds and Emeralds (1997, Camden/BMG Records). Paul Simpson, is the vocalist of, The Wild Swans, whose songs include the 1981 Zoo Records 12" single "The Revolutionary Spirit". Simpson has said that the Care single "Whatever Possessed You" was originally written by him as a Wild Swans song. On leaving Care Simpson reformed The Wild Swans and released two albums Bringing Home the Ashes (1988, Sire);and Space Flower in 1989. Space Flower reunited Broudie and Simpson with Broudie producing the album and playing guitar. Simpson performed under the moniker Skyray fro 1996 to 2006 and has since reformed The Wild Swans in 2008 to critical acclaim. According to Allmusic the Care developed a cult following in Japan and the Philippines, where Care's songs were more popular than they were in England, kept the group's memory afloat. Noticing the demand for Care records on the Internet, Camden released Diamonds and Emeralds in 1997, a compilation of the duo's singles, B-sides, and tracks intended for Love Crowns and Crucifies. Collected without permission from either Simpson or Broudie, Diamonds and Emeralds nevertheless finally presented Care's majestic work on CD" Ian Broudie, went on to form The Lightning Seeds in the late 1980s, releasing a string of albums which spawned hit singles like "Pure," "All I Want," "Life of Riley," "Three Lions," and "Life's Too Short." Now solo, Broudie released his first album, Tales Told, in 2004.
