Name That (niche) Band?

[Doofus]

Reading, Berkshire. 1980s.

I don't think they made it big (or even medium) and I'm pretty sure the lead singer was Andy Styles.

I turned myself into a gibbering idiot the other evening over dinner by starting to talk about the band and then immediately remembering nothing at all about them.

Chapterhouse?

No. It'll come to me at some point. I have a feeling they modelled themselves on Marillion.

Thousand Yard Stare?

Slowdive?

EDIT: Oops, posts crossed there, glad you got the answer OP. I'll leave this post up though in case it prompts any happy memories for anyone...although thinking about it TYS were from Slough, weren't they?
