Europeans
W 1980 roku szkocki zespół Motion Pictures (Ferg Harper, Colin Woore, Geoff Dugmore) zamieszcza ogłoszenie, że szuka klawiszowca. Zostaje nim Steve Hogarth, który niedawno przeprowadził się z Doncaster do Londynu. Zespół rozpoczyna próby w Sheppeton, a wiosną 1981 roku zmienia nazwę na Europeans.
W 1982 roku wspierają Johna Otway'a w utworze "All Balls and No Willy" i podpisują kontrakt z A&M. Wydają trzy single: „The Animal Song”, „AEIOU” i „Recognition”, które pilotują pierwszy studyjny album "Vacabulary". Na płycie usłyszymy również śpiewa Steve'a Hogartha w utworze "Kingdom Come" jednak głównym wokalistą jest basista Ferg Harper. Wokalnie album wspierają również Kiki Dee i Toni Childs. Zespół wydaje kolejny singiel "Americam People" i intensywnie koncertuje.
Steve Hogarth coraz częściej zasiada za mikrofonem. W 1984 roku jego "Listen" zostaje wybrany na następny singiel. Zwiastunem kolejnej płyty jest również singiel promocyjny "Acid Rain", na którym również śpiewa Hogarth. Zapowiada album "Recurring Dreams", który ukazuje się 30 października 1984 roku. Steve'a Hogarta usłyszymy w utworach: "Burning Inside You", "You Don't Want Me (In Your Life)", "Writing for Survival", "Don't Give Your Heart to Anybody", "Acid Rain". Z albumu zadowolony jest szczególnie Steve Hogarth, jednak nie jest on odpowiendio promowany. Dyrektor zarządzajacy A&M odchodzi z firmy dzień po wydaniu płyty a wkększość pracowników, którzy pierwotnie podpisali kontkrakt z zespołem zostali zwolnieni. W efekcie doporwadziło to do rozpadu Europeans a Steve Hogarth wraz z Colinem Woorem założyli wkrótce How We Live.
