Irish group, Cactus World News are releasing Found, an album of rare and unreleased tracks. Funded through Pledge, the campaign can be viewed at www.pledgemusic.com/projects/cwnfound.
CWN were Frank Kearns on guitar, Eoin McEvoy on vocals, Fergal Andrews on bass and Wayne Sheehy on drums. In 1990 a line up change saw Kearns and McEvoy continue with new members Jeff Collier on drums and Chris McGoldrick on Bass and later, Mc Goldbrick was replaced by John Doyle on bass.
Their first release, and best known song was The Bridge, which was produced by U2's Bono, and released on their Mother Records label. They toured the UK with The Cult in 1985 and signed to MCA Records.
CWN performed at the Self Aid concert in Dublin on 17 May 1986. The band released their debut album, Urban Beaches in 1986 and gained impact hits with its three singles: Years Later, Worlds Apart and a re-recording of The Bridge. The respected music reference site AllMusic.com gave Urban Beaches 4.5 out of 5.
All three singles reached the UK Singles Chart. In 1989 the band underwent several personnel changes, leaving McEvoy and Kearns to continue for a few more years, with various other band members coming and going. February 2015 saw the band announce the Pledge campaign to release Found.
