Stress (British band)

Stress was a short-lived British neo-psychedelic rock band composed of Wayne Binitie, Ian Mussington and Mitch Amachi Ogugua. They released only one album in 1991 on Reprise/Warner Bros. Records. They are not to be confused with the San Diego rock band Stress and are sometimes credited as Stress UK in the United States. A live performance in Hollywood drew a mixed review from the Los Angeles Times, with the band's sound described as "likable but relaxed grooves",[1] though a generally more positive review was published the following month in the Washington Post.[2]

Their album drew numerous favourable comparisons with the likes of Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles, and although not a great commercial success, was described as possessing 'a lot of musical strengths' by AllMusic's Steven McDonald.[3] In November 2021 the album was featured in an article on WhatCulture, 10 Forgotten Rock Albums That Need To Be Heard.[4]

In 1997, Binitie and Ogugua released a second album under the moniker of Inqbator, entitled "Hatched". It featured contributions from Lenny Kravitz, whom they had previously supported on tour.
