Rain were an alternative rock band from Liverpool, England, who had a minor hit in 1991 with "Lemonstone Desired".
History
The band was formed at the Merseyside Trade Union Community and Unemployed Resource Centre in
UK Singles Chart, and was the source of some controversy due to the photograph of a naked woman on the sleeve.[3] The band recorded a session for Mark Goodier's BBC Radio 1 show in March that year.[4] This was followed by debut album A Taste of Rain, drawing comparisons with Cream, R.E.M., and the Byrds, and a single featuring the title track from the album.[1][2] The album was followed by a reissued "Lemonstone Desired", which proved to be the band's final release while together, although they shared a posthumous split album with the Real People
in 1996, featuring tracks mainly taken from their album.
