Power pop born from The Kryptonics

Challenger 7 carried Ian Underwood's melodic guitar writing into a louder Sydney line-up with ties to [The Kryptonics](/bands/the-kryptonics/), [You Am I](/bands/you-am-i/), Front End Loader and [Asteroid B-612](/bands/asteroid-b-612/).

First sessions and a new line-up

Underwood initially recorded with Greg Hitchcock, Richard Corey and Peter Kostic. After that short-lived formation, bassist Dan Bell and drummer Marty Doo joined, followed by guitarist Stewart Cunningham.

EPs and Payola

The group released Morris, The Great Slump Forward E.P. and several split singles before its sole studio album, Payola.
