As a side project to The Violets, he also co-wrote and recorded the first album from The Batfish Boys, The Gods Hate Kansas. In 1987 his music was featured in director John Hughes' coming of age drama, Some Kind of Wonderful. A year later he co-wrote the score for Zelda Barron's teen thriller, The Bulldance, during his stint in London Records band Hard Rain. Throughout the 1990s he was based in London and played in various bands, including Amania, with ex-Violets singer Cleo Murray and Craig Adams and also Bully, with Australian singer/songwriter/actress Abi Tucker. After reforming in 2007, The March Violets released their first proper studio album in 2013, Made Glorious. The band also toured extensively in the US and Europe. In 2012 he returned to film scoring and completed 8 features with director Daniel E. Falicki and two shorts for director Ryan Lieske. In 2016 he embarked on an audio re-imagining of E. Elias Merhige's Begotten in tandem with its director. This is still a work in progress. In 2016 he founded SubVon Studio based in Athens, Georgia and since then has recorded, mixed, and mastered many Georgia based darkwave bands including Vision Video, Tears for the Dying, Hip To Death and Entertainment!
