Salad

Firmly sitting at the pop end of the mid-'90s Brit-pop explosion, Salad's mix of rock guitars and pop sensibilities made them stand out from the rest of the scene that was dominated by the edgier sound of bands such as Elastica and Sleeper.

After a few years of hits, the group disbanded, only to reunite in 2017 before going on to issue 2019's The Salad Way.

\r Formed in 1992 by MTV presenter and vocalist/keyboardist Marijne Van Der Vlugt, bassist Pete Brown, drummer Rob Wakeman, and guitarist Paul Kennedy, the four-piece self-released two singles -- Kent EP and Diminished Clothes -- in 1993, before being picked up by Island's indie offshoot Island Red.
