The band was operating for about 8 months before Sean Purcell joined on vocals, Paul had previously been in Manic Depression. Paul was just what the band needed, he provided a much stronger vocal element to their music.

First Demo Tape

Forbidden Colour recorded a 3 track demo tape in February 1986 at Lab Studio’s Linton Lane Dublin.

Tracks State Of The Art, Subtle Differences & Departure Time Again are all better than the average demo tracks. The second track is perhaps the weakest, but State Of The Art could stand beside anything being offered by better known Irish bands at the moment.
