Church Write-Up

Although their first album, Of Skins and Heart (entitled The Church in the US) was released in 1981, the Church remained relatively underground until 1988s Starfish—their sixth release which yielded their breakthrough U.S. single "Under The Milky Way." The Australian group, whose core consists of vocalist Steve Kilbey and guitarist Marty Willson-Piper, have recorded numerous albums since, not all of which have been released in the United States. In 1994 they released Sometime Anywhere.
