I never heard co.uk but was/am a big fan of Deckard/Baby Chaos & Joyrider. Wilt were good too but I preferred Kerbdog's heavier sound.

A little Googling tells me that... all of them have split up! Shame.

Chris Gordon of Deckard & Baby Chaos is now in Union of Knives (www.myspace.com/unionofknives) who I actually rather like - imagine Deckard if they abandoned the four-piece rock band and set their songs to electro/house beats. Quality if you like that sort of thing.

Wilt are also no more - Cormac Battle is now presenting a rock show on Ireland national radio network.

Joyrider as I recall split in the mid nineties. I forget why, although having their van and all their equipment blown up by the anti-terrorist squad in a controlled explosion probably didn't help . The singer Phil Woolsey is now in a band called Roque Junior (www.myspace.com/roquejunior) who on initial listening, sound kind of like Joyrider but a bit less punky and a bit more indie.

Hope that helps.

cheers!
