if...uk began life in SAM Studios Backfields Place Stokes Croft Bristol in January 1990 where Steve Street, Andy Fox and Merv Woolford previously ran their Recording Studio. In response to their first Demo Tape (recorded @ WhiteHouse Studios Kew Stoke Bristol) the band secured a 'Residency' @ Mr Popes Frog Lane Bristol - rehearsing in the basement there situated below Park Street in the old Wine Cellar. Their 'Banner' was created from material supplied by Cameron Balloons and the artwork was created by Jon Mills using the Celtic Rune for Harmony as his template.
