The band was signed to the London-based, but Japanese owned, Vinyl Japan UK Ltd. The band first gained attention in Europe when they released their EP "Hospital, Heaven or Hell" which received praise from well known English radio personalities John Peel and Steve Lamacq, respectively. Because of this, they recorded six John Peel Sessions which were released throughout the 90's and eventually released together in 2000 on a double-disc album called The Six John Peel Sessions [1]. 1994 (MCMXCIV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated as the International Year of the Family and the International Year of the Sport and the Olympic Ideal by United Nations. ...

In 1996, the Star's released their first album, Songs From the Bar Room Floor, which was followed by Sell Your Soul to the Flaming Stars in 1999. In 2001, The Flaming Stars released A Walk on the Wired Side, a slight departure from their previous works. The album takes less from 1960's style garage rock and instead focused more on creating their own unique sound. The Star's gained a mild hit in the U.K. from their album A Walk on the Wired Side with the song, "Some Things You Don't Forget". The band received considerable attention in the U.K.'s undergroud scene while remaining fairly unknown in the United States. The Flaming Stars, not content with one album every few years, released their fifth studio album, Sunset & Void, in 2002. 1996 (MCMXCVI) was a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year for the Eradication of Poverty. ...
