Biography
United Kingdom (1985 – present)
Breakout.The group presently comprises Andy Connell (born Andrew John Connell, Jul 26, 1961, Nottingham; keyboards) and Corinne Drewery (born Sep 21, 1959, Nottingham; vocals), though it began as a trio in the United Kingdom. The group was initially formed by Connell and Martin Jackson (drums), in 1985 who were later joined by Drewery. The group’s name came from a 1945 movie called Swing Out, Sister, and they reportedly chose the name because there was only one thing they could agree on: they all hated it! Both Connell and Jackson had been playing in other bands prior to forming SOS, while Drewery was actually a fashion designer and model before she became the band’s lead vocalist and lyricist.
It’s Better To Travel (1987, debut album)
Together with their producer, Paul Staveley O’Duffy, they signed with Mercury Records Limited. Prior to their first album, they released the single
Blue Mood in the UK in November 1985. However, it did not chart. In late 1986, the single “Breakout” was released. It peaked at #4 on the UK charts, and #6 in the United States. Consequently, when they released their debut album, It’s Better To Travel, on May 11, 1987, it reached #1 on the UK album charts.

SOS is one of the greatest bands ever. I have been listening to them for about 25 years, and they sound as fresh and exciting now as they did when first started listening to them on my Walkman.

SOS is one of my favorite musical acts. Funny enough I don't even like Breakout that much, despite it being the top one on here. But then I guess that's similar to Thomas Dolby and She Blinded Me with Science.
