Single Bullet Theory (band)


Single Bullet Theory was an American new wave band from Richmond, Virginia.

History

The band was founded in 1976 under the name X-Breed; the new moniker was adopted after the addition of a guitarist and bassist to the original three-person lineup. They self-released an EP in 1977 and by 1979 were opening for Patti Smith. After landing a song on the Asylum Sharp Cuts compilation album, they signed with Mike Curb Productions, but left the label before releasing any material. In 1982 they signed to CBS Records subsidiary Nemperor and released a full-length album. The single "Keep it Tight" appeared on MTV and reached No. 78 on the Billboard Hot 100, A second single "Hang on to your Heart" was test marketed in the United States Virgin Islands and reached No. 1 but CBS pulled all promotion on the band; the single was never released and the group disbanded shortly after.
