About: Afraid of Mice were a British New Wave band from Liverpool, England, formed in 1979. They released five singles between 1981 and 1982, and even a self-titled album in 1981 on the Charisma label.
There is not much else to say about them, except that Their self-titled debut album was released in 1981, however, it didn't sell well. They planned on releasing a second album, but it was never completed and as a result, the band left Charisma Records and the band members split up. Phillip Jones teamed up with Alex McKechnie in 1985 to form the duo Two's a Crowd (renamed Up and Running later on).
Fact: Phillip Jones had been in other bands since 1977 and the band members of Afraid of Mice used to perform covers, then later wrote their own material.
