Robert Lindsey-Clark Scott James Paul Williams James Taylor Matt Everitt
James and Williams met at school in Reading, and first performed together as a duo covering material by The Byrds and Moby Grape. They met Lindsey-Clark at a folk club and the trio formed Montrose Avenue in 1996. Taylor and Everitt then completed the line-up and signed a recording contract with Columbia Records the following year. The limited edition She's Looking For Me EP, released in 1997, charted at #118 in the UK singles chart.[2] This was then followed by their first mainstream single in March 1998, in which "Where Do I Stand" proved to be their only top 40 hit, charting at #38.[2] "Shine" then followed up three months later charting at #59,[2] before their final single "Start Again" released in October, charted at #58.[2]
Their only album, Thirty Days Out, was released a week after the release of "Start Again" on 12 October 1998 before charting at number 102 in the UK and at number 69 in Japan.[2][3] Despite establishing a cult following in the Far East, The Montrose Avenue never released another album only to disband in 1999.[citation needed]
After The Montrose Avenue disbanded, James went on to work with Welsh rock band Stereophonics as a touring guitarist between 2001–2004, while also appearing in the band's music videos "Have a Nice Day" and "Step On My Old Size Nines".[4] Everitt worked as a music journalist, before moving into radio, starting at London-based rock station XFM,[5] then moving to BBC 6 Music where he is currently a DJ and music reporter.[5]
