One of the most experimental and original British bands of the early 80's, Kevin Rowland and company first broke big on the scene with no 1 hit 'Geno' in 1980. Always controversial, DMR played with pop, soul, folk and Celtic influences while constantly reshuffling the band and fighting the record companies. Having dropped the 'Midnight Runners', the band made a comeback in 2012 with their fourth studio album, 'One Day I'm Going To Soar'.
