Cuff were a Croydon-based quartet formed after Liverpool born frontman/singer/bassist Lee Horrocks and drummer Ray Whisker found the talents of guitarists Neil Whitcher and Sean Walmsey through an ad in the Melody Maker. Cuff were favourites at 1997's London Music Week, and the band's single 'Yellowmaddacoolivision' received extensive support and airplay from MTV at the time of its release (as well have on of the most unusual of titles).
After third release, 5 track 'Breathe' EP on 'Ovni' the band negotiated a recording contract with Atlantic. Sean Walmsley left the line-up but the remaining members worked with producers Ric Wake and Tony Visconti recording the album 'Living With The Worryfish' in New York. Sadly, the album remains unreleased by Atlantic Records, unable to reach an agreement allowing the band to release and promote the album they disbanded in the year 2000.
