The Poppy Factory


The Poppy Factory were a band from Bradford, England, signed to Chrysalis Records. They released one EP and three singles. Their debut, the Fabulous Beast EP, met critical acclaim and was played by a number of radio DJs and stations, though its chart performance did not match industry reception. Next came the 7-inch "Stars", and then "7x7", produced by David Creffield.
The band's contract with Chrysalis foundered, and they self-released a 12-inch promo, "Drug House" before fading into obscurity.
The band's frontman Mickey Dale later rose to fame as the keyboard player for Embrace.
