SURFACE was formed in Birmingham, England circa 1980 by school friends John Bennett (bass), Mike Cheshire (guitar), and Paul Drew (guitar); who then recruited Tony Floyd (vocals) and Jamie Hawkins (drums). Lineup shifts saw Gez Finnegan replace Tony on vocals, Jamie's younger brother Ian come in on bass, guitarist Mark Davies supplant Paul, and the addition of Dean Field on keyboards. This lineup somehow managed to secure a six-week tour of France before ever recording a single note—after which Loz Rabone replaced Mike on guitar and the lineup stabilized.
