Spinks and Lewis, now officially a duo, switched labels and began recording Diamond Days for MCA. A new session drummer, Simon Dawson, joined them and helped add an electronic edge to their sound. Diamond Days produced one of their biggest singles, For You. They followed up with 1992s Rockeye. Its single, Winning It All, became a feature at sporting events and was on the soundtrack of The Mighty Ducks. Simon Dawson had become increasingly involved in the shaping of the bands sound and became an official member of the band at this time. They went on hiatus for much of the mid-90s, returning to record an exclusive release for their fan club, entitled It Aint Over, then embarking on a kind of 80s revival tour. In 1998, they released Extra Innings, which was a compilation of several songs they wrote during the 90s, and also featured four new songs written in 1998. The band reunited in 2006 for the release of Any Time Now.
