Vocalist Mary Wyer was a founding member of Sydney indie band, Even As We Speak. After a series of vinyl releases on Australian independent labels including Phantom Records, and success on the Australian indie scene, they came to the attention of BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel who started to play the band's 1987 indie guitar cover of New Order's ''Bizarre Love Triangle'' on his show. This brought them to the attention of UK audiences and began a relationship with UK indie label Sarah Records. The band released several singles and an album on Sarah Records, three of which reached the Top 5 of the Melody Maker and New Musical Express UK independent music charts in 1992 and 1993.
Between 1992 and 1993, the group recorded three sessions for John Peel and one session for Mark Goodier for BBC Radio 1. They were among the few Australian bands to record Peel Sessions – others were The Birthday Party, The Triffids, The Go-Betweens and Laughing Clowns. During the mid-ninties Wyer formed The Singing Bush which was a short-lived project between the Sarah band and Her Name in Lights. Her Name in Lights issued their debut album, 'Into the Light Again', in October 2004.
