Cock Robin is an American pop rock band that first soared to popularity in the mid-1980s with their distinctive blend of melodic hooks, sophisticated harmonies, and poignant lyrics. The band was fronted by singer-songwriter Peter Kingsbery, along with Anna LaCazio providing the essential counterpart to Kingsbery's vocals. Their self-titled debut album released in 1985, propelled by hits such as "When Your Heart Is Weak" and "The Promise You Made," established the band on both sides of the Atlantic, enjoying particular success in Europe.

Following their initial burst of success, Cock Robin continued to evolve their sound through successive albums, such as "After Here Through Midland" and "First Love / Last Rites," showcasing a commitment to exploring new musical landscapes while maintaining their emotional and lyrical depth. Despite fluctuating popularity in the United States, the band maintained a strong following in Europe, leading to several albums being released or enjoying more promotion overseas, like "Songs from a Bell Tower" and "Chinese Driver." Over the years, the band has demonstrated a remarkable resilience, navigating the changes in the music industry and shifting line-ups, with Kingsbery and LaCazio remaining at its core. Their discography, enriched with live recordings, remixes, and expanded editions of their seminal works, including "Umpff Remixes" and "After Here Through Midland (Expanded Edition)," illustrates a vibrant legacy that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
