1980s British pop band

Brother Beyond were a British pop band who had success in the pop rock genre in the late 1980s.

The group's first four singles, "I Should Have Lied", "How Many Times", "Chain Gang Smile" (produced by Don Was), and an early version of "Can You Keep a Secret? ", were written by band members Eg White, and David Ben White in collaboration with Carl Fysh. The songs were also performed together by the band members, led by vocalist Nathan Moore. These early singles, released between 1986 and 1988, were minor chart successes in the UK Singles Chart. The first song to be released from this session was "The Harder I Try", a UK No. 2 hit. The follow up single was "Just a Heartbeat Away", released commercially in Australia and as a promotional single in the US, which failed to chart. "The Girl I Used to Know" was released as a non album single in Europe in early 1991 and peaked at No. 48 in the UK.

Lead singer Nathan Moore went on to sing with another boy band called Worlds Apart, successful in France in the mid 90s, and worked as a manager to such acts as Jessica Garlick. He was also a contestant on ITV's Hit Me Baby One More Time, and part of Lisa Scott Lee's Totally Scott Lee programme set up on MTV. Drummer Steve Alexander toured with Duran Duran for six years before going solo. He has since worked with Jeff Beck and formed a musical collaboration called Flashman with vocalist Renn. His new project is a collaboration with bassist Simon Little called Little Alex. Carl Fysh now works for Purple PR, a public relations agency in London. He became manager to male duo Fierce Girl, as well as working with acts including Goldfrapp, Coldplay and Adele. David White obtained a BA degree in Fine Arts at Central St. Martin's College in London, and is currently studying for his Master of Art at Chelsea College of Art and Design. He has shown his paintings all around England and Israel.

After leaving Brother Beyond, Eg White formed the duo Eg and Alice with artist Alice Temple. Their production was critically acclaimed but a commercial failure, and none of their singles ever entered the UK Top 75. They released one album (which also didn't chart) for WEA in 1991, before Eg decided to go solo, covering the Jellyfish hit "Stay Home". Eg White won an Ivor Novello award for writing Will Young's "Leave Right Now", and has written songs for a variety of artists including Natalie Imbruglia, Joss Stone and Adele.
