The Uninvited was formed in Los Angeles in early 1988 around the frontmen duo of brothers John and Steve Taylor (who both play guitars and sing). After gigging around the region during the late '80s and early '90s, they settled on a rhythm section of bassist Bill Cory and drummer Bruce Logan. After recording scores of demos for record-company consideration, the group decided to record their own album and issued Pop This in 1992 on their own Roarshack Records. Though it sold well, the Uninvited's distributor went belly-up and the band had to wait three years before releasing another record, Too High. The group relocated to San Francisco, recorded 1996's Artificial Hip and finally signed with a major label, Atlantic. Their fourth album, The Uninvited, was released in July 1998. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
