Bäackpain are back

The British rock band, Bäackpain consists of Kylie Crouch (vocals), David Bent (bass), Ben Yorney (drums), and Stoop Williams (guitar). The band was at the peak of its popularity in the mid-to-late 1980s, and were set to revolutionise the rock scene with their wild onstage antics, when they were, ironically enough, plagued with a series of back-related issues that put their plans on hold.

Crouch's back seized up on stage at a gig in June 1989. A month later, while bending to pick up his drum stick, Ben Yorney was forced to end their Backbreaker Tour due to severe back pain.

Back ache is a fairly common problem in the UK. In fact 80% of adults will suffer back pain at some point during their adult life. Most people manage to continue working, or return to work within a few days or weeks, despite their pain. Unfortunately for Bäackpain this was not the case and they have been inundated with back-related issues for the last 15 years.

The band's new manager, David 'DeeBee' Brown has added a few support measures to the band's routine to ensure their comeback this year.
