MARRS - PUMP UP THE VOLUME (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back.... 1987 saw this one hit wonder from U.K outfit known as 'MARRS' or ''M/A/R/R/S/" reach No 1 on the U.S Dance charts, U.K and Canadian music charts.

MARRS was formed from two bands, those  being 'Colourbox' and 'A R Kane'

The name MARRS came from the forenames of the five artists involved in the project: Martyn and Steve Young (from Colourbox), Alex Ayuli and Rudy Tambala (from A.R. Kane), Russell Smith (an associate A.R. Kane).....
