"... In april 1989, Chris Masuak left the Tribesmen to reform the Hitmen. Wackley and Fraser also departed, which left Medew to gather up the pieces. He recruited a new line-up of Glen 'Electric' Morris (lead guitar ; ex-Kings of the Sun) , 'Long' Jeff Silver (bass, ex-Volcanoes, Radio Luxembourg) and Ritchie 'the bandit' Hine (drums, ex-Terrapins, Radio Luxembourg) .

The band issued the 5-track, 12-inch EP 'Take Cover' (august 1989), which comprised all cover versions, including the Dictators' 'Stay with me' , the Allusions' 'Gypsy woman' (also on 'Blood Lust'), Lou Reed's 'I can't stand it' , Shockin' Blue's 'Hot Sand' & Ken Draznik's (from the Vertebrats) 'Left in the dark'.

Morris remained with the band for nine months before returning to the Kings of the Sun. Ex-Girlies, Headstones, Brian Mann took his place, and the band issued the 'Blood Lust' album in March 1991. This lp produced the 12-inch single 'Ayla' with an accoustic version of 'Igloo' & 'Santa's little helper' , on b side (if someone got this 12'...) .

'Blood Lust' included a couple of the band's heaviest ever songs like 'High Priestess', 'Frozen Tracks' , 'Something Dangerous' and 'Queen of the Night Time World' . Survival also issued "High Time - A Collection" in december 1990. German label Normal issued 'Blood Lust' in Europe and the band toured there to a positive response..." I. McFarlane
