After 1993's New Model Army album The Love Of Hopeless Causes, lead singer Justin Sullivan decided it was time for a break. He embarked on a tour of Europe with Dave Blomberg, playing small venues in Sweden and Holland in 1994, using just two guitars. Along the way, they recorded a live acoustic album, Big Guitars in Little Europe. After their European tour, Dave Blomberg became a permanent band member of New Model Army, and his songwriting influences were first heard on the 1998 album Strange Brotherhood.
