The Hormones Line Up : Marc Carroll [Vocals & Guitar], Jimi Bolin [Guitars], Jez Housden [Bass Guitar], Pat Walters [Drums]

The Hormones were formed in London in 1995. The band were to release 5 singles which were all met with acclaim but little commercial success outside of Ireland.

Things started to look up when US Sitcom 'Friends' used B-Side Track, 'Tired Old Souls' in an episode. They were subsequently asked to appear in an episode (playing the wedding band at x and y's wedding). This appearance led to a flood of interest in the band which left them in an optimistic mood for the future and the release of their debut album.

The 'Where Old Ghosts Meet' album was recorded in 1998. However, problems at the record label meant that on the day that the album was released, the band were dropped from their record label. The band went on to tour Europe with The Cranberries in 1999 before Carroll decides to split the band.
