Renowned for penning some of the catchiest lyrics and reintroducing rock to pop, Let Loose were also one of the only UK groups of their time whose line-up could all genuinely play instruments. Their hit single �Crazy For You� charted at number 2 in 1994, but was kept from the top spot by Glaswegian crooners Wet Wet Wet and their cover of The Troggs �Love is All Around�. The band went on to release a further two albums together before calling it a day in 1997. To date the single �Crazy For You� has sold more than 600,000 copies globally and lead singer Richie Wermerling has maintained a consistent dialogue with fans online who have continued to push for a comeback.
