China Crisis
China Crisis are an English pop/rock band. They formed in 1979 in Kirkby, near Liverpool, Merseyside with a core of vocalist/keyboardist Gary Daly and guitarist Eddie Lundon. Their output was pop music similar in style to that of New Wave but with strong similarities to the post-punk movement of the early 1980s, namely inclusion of a broader range of musical influences and occasional flirtation with political commentary. Throughout their career, China Crisis has seen moderate success in the United Kingdom with ten hit singles between August 1982 and January 1987 and six albums, as well as commercial success in Western Europe, Australia and the Americas.

Inspired by such bands as The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Killing Joke, in 1985 Jeff Pawson, Peter Burns, Gary Economy and Dave Goodman formed The Gathering. Three years later the group disbanded. Inspired by the resurgence of the Post Punk, New Wave and the 80’s music movement, they reformed in 2018, and were signed by German label Cold Transmission Music.
2022 saw the release of Parade, a collection of the bands Love Songs and Night Light Ep’s plus two new tracks all produced by Jason Corbett of ACTORS.
