Their sophomore effort, "Seeds", was ushered in with the lead single, "And Fools Shine On", which sounded markedly more grunge - it could have easily been mistaken for an Alice In Chains song. The haunting chords creates an eerie atmosphere that made it a perfect fit for inclusion on the soundtrack to the 1995 horror flick, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. Despite topping the Rock Chart for weeks, the single failed to scratch the Billboard Top 100. It did, however, help "Seeds" become the only charting album in the band's career, landing at #184. Their third record, "Wishpool", failed to chart and the band broke up shortly after its release.
Johnson went on to write songs and play guitar for many other artists, from Faith Hill to Alice Cooper, and is currently a member of Thin Lizzy and Black Star Riders.
