History

Roman Grey was formed in 1982 by Ross Roman and David Grey. Their first self-titled EP release on Relativity Records became popular in Italy,[2][3] and the single "Look Me in the Eyes" was played extensively on the radio and in dance clubs there.[4]

The band found success in Canada with their 1988 album Edge of the Shadow, produced by Terry Brown.[5] The single "IBU" appeared on the RPM Canadian Content charts that year.[6]
