Max formed in late 80s/early 90s, but renamed to Lomax when they signed to ZTT. A Trevor Horn produced album ("1001 Nights", cat# ZTT 5) was shelved by the label when their single Waiting For Vain was not a hit.
Leaving ZTT, the group transferred to another WEA subsidiary (Red Dot Records), changed their name back to Max and de-Horned the album to give it a rockier edge, retitling it "Silence Running". The album and its singles stiffed, Warners dropped them, and the band split in 1994.
Members John Keogh and Matthew Ashman died shortly after.
