Who is The Outfield?
The Outfield was an English rock band based in London. The band achieved success in the mid-1980s and is best remembered for their hit single, "Your Love". The band's lineup consisted of guitarist John Spinks, vocalist and bassist Tony Lewis, and drummer Alan Jackman. They had an unusual experience for a British band in that they enjoyed commercial success in the United States but never in their homeland. The band began recording in the mid-1980s, and released their first album, Play Deep, in 1985 through Columbia Records.
