Head were an English rock band of the late 1980s.
History After making three albums and a few singles the Bristol-based combo faded away. Nick Sheppard previously played in The Cortinas and The Clash. Gareth Sager previously played in The Pop Group, and in Rip Rig + Panic with Neneh Cherry.
Although they never achieved major sales they are now belatedly acknowledged as a forerunner of today's trip hop scene.[ Allmusic.com]
The title of the second album is a reference to Tales of Ordinary Madness, a film based on the work of poet Charles Bukowski.
