Problems From the Start There was always going to be a problem when a band has to Lead Guitarists in its list. Both the Asper brothers heard of a Guitarist who had made a few other local bands shine, they looked into it and found Lexx JST (former Guitarist of Zero 2 Hero, Rock Dollar and We Right The Flames) and after a long hard discussion finally got him in S2TS. Brett was then found playing with his band 'A Former Lie' and was convinced to jump ship. Jerd Formally in rising up band 'For ALL The Glory' back stabbed his band mates (Who vowed never to talk to him again) and joined up with his younger brother Ben and Drover who were also previously in a rival band who was set to tour in england.

3 History (Albums, Tours, Injuries, Deaths)įormation The Formation of S2TS was quite shaming to australian music history.One review considered this ending to be 'awfully contrived' but the novel was described as 'extra-dry in its humor' and 'ever so restrained in its melodrama'. Eventually he gets arrested for a murder he did not actually commit, as a consequence of a revenge-plot of his mother-in-law.

Next, he sets a boating booby-trap for Robert, and fakes a suicide to dispose of a possible witness. When it becomes clear that he has got away with this murder, Graham begins to feel a new power and murders his wife by booby-trapping an electric switch. On his way home that night, he lashes out at an aged tramp who harasses him, killing him, and dumps the body in the Thames. But Graham is passed over for promotion, losing out to a younger colleague called Robert Benham. Graham Marshall, the protagonist, is a rising executive at a London-based oil conglomerate, and has always played by the rules. The novel was adapted into the 1990 film of the same name starring Michael Caine.
