Razorcuts
Razorcuts were an indie pop band formed in 1984 in London.[1] The group centred around Gregory Webster and Tim Vass (who were previously in The Cinematics), with various musicians including Peter Momtchiloff of Heavenly.[1] Early releases on the Subway Organisation label, including the debut Big Pink Cake led to a deal with Creation Records for whom they released two albums. Razorcuts split up on 21 April 1990, with Vass going on to form Red Chair Fadeaway, and Webster forming The Carousel.[1][2] The duo were reunited under the name Forever People in 1992 for a one-off single on Sarah Records.[1]
