Personnel changes had begun much earlier, but the core of brothers Richard and Tim Butler (bass) and guitarist John Ashton remained steady. The albums <I>Mirror Moves</I> (1984) and <I>Midnight to Midnight</I> (1987) were must-haves for suburban hipsters of the era, and the band continually toured to great success. <br><br> After two more discs, <I>Book of Days</I> and <I>World Outside</I>, which didn't do nearly as well, the act split up. Richard Butler went on to Love Spit Love's moderate popularity before re-teaming with brother Tim and Ashton in 2000.
