In 1995, it was suggested by a friend that bass player/singer Pete Vuckovic should contact guitarist Chris McCormack to start a band. Both had recently left their previous bands and were looking for something new, at first he was told that McCormack was not available as he was busy with Honeycrack. A few weeks later, after McCormack didnt get the gig with Honeycrack, due to location they spent the following months trading four track recordings and developing song ideas via post, until they had enough material to record a demo. The demo, a three song effort featuring the newly acquired drummer Keith Baxter was sniffed at but didnt click, Vuckovic left the early incarnation of the band. In the meantime, and undeterred, McCormack liaising with Gina Walters and it is this inclusion of Terry Thomas that convinces Pete Vuckovic to change his mind and do another demo, after a 30 minute phone call from McCormack begging him to come back to London.

12 Angry Men (1957 film)
–
12 Angry Men is a 1957 American courtroom drama film adapted from a teleplay of the same name by Reginald Rose. In the United States, a verdict in most criminal trials by jury must be unanimous, the film is notable for its almost exclusive use of one set, out of 96 minutes of run time, only three minutes take place outside of the jury room. 12 Angry Men explores many techniques of consensus-building, and the difficulties encountered in the process, among a group of men whose range of personalities adds intensity and conflict. In 2007, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. In a New York City courthouse a jury commences deliberating the case of an 18-year-old boy from a slum, if there is any reasonable doubt they are to return a verdict of not guilty. If found guilty, the boy will receive a death sentence, in a preliminary vote, all jurors vote guilty except Juror 8, who argues that the boy deserves some deliberation. Juror 8 questions the accuracy and reliability of the two witnesses, and the prosecutions claim that the murder weapon, a common switchblade, was rare. Juror 8 argues that reasonable doubt exists, and that he therefore cannot in conscience vote guilty, Juror 8 suggests a secret ballot, from which he will abstain, and agrees to change his vote if the others unanimously vote guilty. The ballot is held and a new not guilty vote appears, an angry Juror 3 accuses Juror 5, who grew up in a slum, of changing his vote out of sympathy towards slum children. However, Juror 9 reveals it was he that changed his vote, Juror 8 argues that the noise of a passing train would have obscured the verbal threat that one witness claimed to have heard the boy tell his father Im going to kill you. Juror 5 then changes his vote, Juror 11 also changes his vote, believing the boy would not likely have tried to retrieve the murder weapon from the scene if it had been cleaned of fingerprints. An angry Juror 3 shouts that they are losing their chance to burn the boy, Juror 8 accuses him of being a sadist. Jurors 2 and 6 then change their votes, tying the vote at 6–6, Juror 4 doubts the boys alibi of being at the movies, because he could not recall it in much detail. Juror 8 tests how well Juror 4 remembers previous days, which he does, Juror 2 questions the likelihood that the boy, who was almost a foot shorter than his father, could have inflicted the downward stab wound found in the body. Jurors 3 and 8 then conduct an experiment to see whether a person could stab downwards on a taller person. Increasingly impatient, Juror 7 changes his vote to hasten the deliberation, coincidentally, it begins to storm outside, rendering his selfish decision pointless. Jurors 12 and 1 then change their votes, leaving only three dissenters, Jurors 3,4 and 10, Juror 10 then vents a torrent of condemnation of slum-born people, claiming they are no better than animals who kill for fun. Most of the others turn their backs to him, except for Juror 4, Juror 12 then reverts his vote, making the vote 8–4

16 Horsepower
–
16 Horsepower was an American alternative country music group based in Denver, Colorado. For the bulk of its career, the band consisted of Edwards, Jean-Yves Tola, and Pascal Humbert, after releasing four studio albums and touring extensively, the group broke up in 2005, citing mostly political and spiritual differences. The members remain active in the groups Woven Hand and Lilium, david Eugene Edwards and Pascal Humbert formed 16 Horsepower in 1992 in Los Angeles, California, where they had met building movie sets for Roger Corman’s Hollywood Studios. Friend, co-worker and trained jazz drummer Jean-Yves Tola joined shortly after, the trio performed once as Horsepower before they parted ways with Humbert as Edwards and Tola re-located to Denver, Colorado. In Edwardss hometown of Denver, the once again became a trio with the addition of Keven Soll. By this time they had gained the attention of A&M Records, for various reasons A&M decided to postpone the release of the album, and so the band returned to the studio and recorded their eponymous debut EP which was released the same year. The debut full-length studio album Sackcloth ‘n’ Ashes was eventually released in 1996, Pascal Humbert had re-located to Denver and joined the band as a second guitarist, although his primary instrument is the bass. Following differences about the direction, Soll was asked to leave and was replaced by Rob Redick. Redick did not last long because of what the band has referred to as kind of a mutual unhappiness, jeffrey-Paul Norlander joined on second guitar shortly before recording began on the second album, Low Estate, with John Parish as producer. Edwards and Norlander had previously been in bands together, most notably The Denver Gentlemen. Norlander departed in 1998 and was replaced by Steve Taylor, the guitar technician. Spending two years touring and writing new material,16 Horsepower’s third full-length album Secret South was not recorded and released until 2000. The album marked a change in sound and tone from earlier releases as the up-tempo rock influences had all but vanished completely. The band toured in Europe in 2000 with the new album and this rumour was further fueled by the fact that the band members had begun to focus on solo and side-projects. Humbert had released his solo-debut with his project Lilium the previous year,16 Horsepower, short of Steve Taylor, returned in 2002 with Folklore. As hinted by the title, this studio album took the band further into traditional folk territory. While the band went on tours in support of the album, their creative output was focused on Woven Hand and Lilium. Olden, a compilation of previously unreleased versions of material was released in 2003
