The first time Maxim actually
met the band was in the night of the show.Maxim remembers it as an interesting
experience:"I just remember being put on this stage in the middle of what
was a dance scene with four people I had just met and I just stood at
the back with a mic chatting a couple of times.Meanwhile,the rest of the
band were doing their shit and everybody was going wild,it just went off.It
all happened so quickly.It was weird but really good.I thought it was
really wicked but I didn't think anything more of it than I wanted to
do it again".He did do it again a few days later he was asked to join
the band.During the winter of 1990,Sharky left the band,after the band
had signed to XL Recordings.She tought it was too much.When the group
contained only four members,they realized their first EP

"What
Evil Lurks" in February 1991.The start was impressive and their first
EP sold over 7000 copies.This time Liam was in the habit of partying until
late.When he was returning home,he started writing songs when he was still
in the party vibes.After Liam had seen a 70's children's information film,he
made a song with the phrase "Charly says always tell your Mummy before
you go off somewhere".The song's name was "Charly".After they had released
four singles,their first album came out,Experience,and they started a
tour.The final singles from their debut album was "Out of Space" and "Wind
it Up".On 1993,Liam started working on a new album,their second one,"Music
for the Jilted Generation",was a success.It went straight in Number 1
of the album charts and sold over 1000000 copies world-wide.A critical
called Liam "modern-day Beethoven".In 1994,they started playing at festivals.The
most famous songs from that album is "No Good (Start the Dance)","Voodoo
People" and "Poison".All these songs were on the Top15 list.The first
taste of their new material from the 3rd album came in March 1996,when
they realized "Firestarter".When the video was shown on "Top of the Pops",the
BBC recieved lots of complaints from angry parents saying that Keith was
too scary for early evening viewing,despite the fact that no drugs,guns,violence
or swearing were featured in the video.Six weeks later."Firestarter" sold
over 750000 copies and it was Number 1 in seven European countries.When
everybody thought their third album was on its way,an other single came
out,"Breathe" in November 1996.Their third album came out in 30 June 1997
and its name was "The Fat Of The Land".
