Europeans were formed in Bristol, UK in 1977. The line-up was Jonathan Cole (formally of Colortapes on vocals, guitar and synthesizers), Jon Klein (ex-Emergency Exit on lead guitar), Steve Street (ex-Public Enemy Number One on bass guitar) and James Cole (drums/percussion). According to Jon, ‘we were going to be called 'The Noses.'^[1] (They should not be confused with the similarly named The Europeans, a Scottish band formed in 1981).

Their single 'Europeans/Voices' was the second release of Bristols' Heartbeat Records, and they contributed the track 'On the Continent' to the labels seminal 'Avon Calling' compilation album. The band split in 1979 when Rialto Records signed Jonathan Cole as a solo artist. Jon Klein went to London with Kevin Mills from The X-Certs to form Specimen (and was involved with the Batcave), he later joined Siouxie & the Banshees and played on three of their albums. Steve Street joined Apartment then Interview, he then moved on to recording bands in Bristol as an engineer/producer, and later worked with Tears for Fears.

The band had originally recorded an albums worth of material, but this was not released until 2008, when Bristol Archive Records brought out a downloadable album called Take Me To The Continent. This was followed in 2009 with a recorded live set, ”Live 1978 – Bower Ashton College”, and a collection of demos, ”GBH Demos 1978”.
