They were styled to look like Duran Duran.....this must have been around 1983 or so. They became a byword for hype over substance as they never had any hits despite the millions that their record label must have thrown at them. It wasn't G.I. Orange or Dream Theatre but they would have been contemporaries of those two.

Around that time there was a lot of money floating around to buy success and the would-be new romantics were there in their thousands. One that stands out as a celebrated fiscal failure was a band called Hanoi Rocks who were a Finnish post-punk band with a Brit drummer. All the others mentioned so far have had commercial success.

Was it Sigue Sigue Sputnik? They were awful though I think they had one or two hyped up or doctored hits. They were signed to EMI - makes you wonder why the record companies don't sign & promote talent instead.
Dream Theatre are an excellent & very talented band that still play though they aren't my personal favourites.
