Let Loose

Let Loose are a British pop trio, started by Richard John “Richie” Wermerling (lead vocals and keyboards), Robert George Edward “Rob” Jeffrey (guitars and backing vocals) and Lee J. Murray (drums, percussion and backing vocals), and currently consisting of Jeffrey, Murray and former Bad Boys Inc singer Matthew James Pateman. History The band initially had minor success in the UK Singles Chart with two of its first three singles, "Crazy for You" (#44) and "Seventeen" (#44). They also released "Face to Face", which was withdrawn from sale by their record label. "Crazy for You" was re-released in the UK, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 24, and climbing to reach number 2. The success of "Crazy for You" led to a remix of "Seventeen"; the track did not match the popularity of "Crazy for You" and peaked at number 11. The band's first album, Let Loose, peaked at number 20 and sold 100,000 copies. The album release was followed by the single "One-Night Stand", which peaked at number 12. The final track to be taken from the album was the ballad "Best in Me", which, according to the album sleeve, was recorded in the lead singer Wermerling's bedroom when he was aged 15. The track became their second UK top 10 hit, peaking at number 8. The band then embarked on a UK tour, and, after a seven-month break, Let Loose returned with a new single "Everybody Say Everybody Do", which peaked at number 29. Another seven months passed before a new single was released – a cover version of the Bread track "Make It with You". The single reached number 7 and gave the group a third top-10 success. This was followed with "Take It Easy", which peaked at number 25.
