When vocalist/guitarist and founding member
Kevin Kane left Canada's acclaimed
Grapes of Wrath due to the cliched musical and personal differences, the remaining members --
Chris Hooper (drums),
Tom Hooper (vocals, bass, guitars), and
Vincent Jones (keyboards) -- carried on with the like-sounding and equally enjoyable
Ginger. The band returned to Nettwerk Records (
Grapes of Wrath's original label), releasing a self-titled, Canadian-only EP in 1993 and the full-length
Far Out in 1994.
Far Out was eventually released in the U.S. in 1995. The band followed with Suddenly I Came to My Senses in late 1996 for EMI Canada. ~ Chris Woodstra
