Brendan Croker is described as a sympathetic, maybe rough, pubrocker with big ears, one of the most pleasant musicians to come out of England (as described by a German folk magazine). He came to professional music rather late in the mid 80s, most prominently known for his work with Dire Straits offshot Notting Hillbillies. Brendan Croker was born in 1953 in Bradford (near Leeds), where the Mekons met and were found.

USM (United States of Mind) is a collective of diverse, yet like-minded individuals who have come together to advance today's stagnant hip-hop culture. The collective consists of five emcees (Asylum 7, Metasyons, Draztik, 5-Ill, & D. Allie) and two dj's/producers (Crate Digga & Sleepy Biggs). Flexing an array of musical styles and influences, this distinct batch of artists provides a fresh and innovative approach to the art form, merging new school lyricism with old school foundation and ethics forged in Detroit's blue-collar blood.
