"One of the many offshoots of Savage Republic, Autumnfair based their sound in the early-'80s post-punk output of the Factory and 4AD labels. Savage Republic bassist/guitarist/vocalist Thom Fuhrmann started the band in 1986 with Val Haller, a bassist/vocalist who had previously played with Jayne County, the Flying Lizards, and Lords of the New Church. The remainder of the band included, at various points, Biff Sanders (a SR engineer), Scott Feemster, Caroline Topalian, Jack Housen, and Savage Republic's Greg Grunke.
