UK Number 40s: The Mac Band - Stalemate (1988)


The Mac Band were best known for the 1988 hit "Roses Are Red" which made the Top 10. They did have another Top 40 hit with this.

Both songs came from their debut album "The Mac Band featuring The McCampbell Brothers". The band consisted of 8 members, 4 of which were brothers with the surname McCampbell who were the vocalists of the group. 

The song was also written by brothers, David Lewis and Wayne Lewis who were both members of Atlantic Starr who had their biggest Top 40 hit "Always" the previous year. It failed to chart in America and didn't even make the R&B charts which "Roses Are Red" had topped prior to this.

Two more albums and several non charting singles followed before the group called it a day in 1991.
