They were soon playing around Japan with the likes of J Church, New Bomb Turks, Propagandi, Snuff, Jessie and Skimmer. They have released two full length albums on Snuffy Smile: 'Accident 'and 'You Are Not the Only One'. Also in 1997 they came to the UK for the first time for a sold out, weeks tour with fellow Japanese band Lovemen and Broccoli. The tour received some very good reviews. A split single was also released in the UK with Chopper on Crackle! Records.
The 4 track 'Hold My Life E.P.' was recorded at the end of 1998. Unfortunately these look like being their last releases as Blew went their separate ways soon after although Singer/ Guitarist Takuro is in a new band called Soon and Kio is in the excellent Urchin
