No Man (Is An Island ...except the Isle Of Man) was a college artrock band formed in Hemel Hempstead by vocalist Tim Bowness, multi-instrumentalist Steven Wilson and violinist Ben Coleman in the mid-80s. They were initially augmented by a guitarist who left prior to any official releases.The bands unique sound combined diverse & adverse influences from jazz, rock, brit-pop, hip-hop, prog rock and punk. The Bowness voice has a stunning sometimes tragic melancholy, a quality only ever bettered by Billy Mackenzie in that decade.
Swagger was the band's debut release (except for a few compilation tracks) and was a limited run of 150 cassette tapes sold at the bands live shows.
