BioThe Usual was a South African pop-rock band formed in 1995, featuring lead vocalist James Stewart, drummer Paul Tizzard, bassist Johan "Yo-Yo" Buys, and guitarist Tom Fox. The group gained immediate traction in the mid-1990s by blending melodic pop with a sophisticated rock sound. Their debut 1996 EP, "Six Songs From The Inside," introduced their signature style and paved the way for their first full-length studio album, "Born in a Storm," released in 1999. The band's discography features successful singles like "The Shape That I'm In," "Born in a Storm," and "Like a Vision." They became a staple of South African radio in the late 1990s due to their polished production and Stewart's distinctive vocal delivery. Following the group's dissolution in 1999, James Stewart transitioned into a highly successful solo career, while other members continued to influence the domestic music industry through various session and production projects.
