Mega City Four consisted of guitarist/vocalist Wiz, his brother and rhythm guitarist/vocalist Danny Brown, bassist/vocalist Gerry Bryant and drummer Chris Jones.
Wiz and Bryant were in band together at school called Stallion, who performed two shows together before Wiz decided he wanted to form a new band with Bryant and Danny Brown, named Capricorn, after the brothers shared star sign.
Mega City Four were formed in 1987 and the band's career started with performing gigs around their local town of Farnborough before making their vinyl debut in September 1987 with “Miles Apart”/“Running In Darkness”. The single led to a round of gigs with fellow punk-influenced bands like Senseless Things and Snuff.
The band had been together for over a decade when they broke up in early 1996. Wiz moved to Montreal and joined Canadian alternative rock band Doughboys.
Wiz and Bryant continued playing together in Serpico after the demise of Mega City Four. After Serpico, Wiz went on to form Ipanema who were still playing and recording until late 2006.
Having just returned from a tour of the United States, Wiz collapsed at a band rehearsal and died at St Georges Hospital, Tooting, South London from a blood clot on the brain on December 6, 2006.
