Mike + The Mechanics Biography

Mike + The Mechanics were an English rock/pop band formed in 1985 as a side project of Mike Rutherford, a founding member of Genesis, that became a successful band in its own right. They are best known for their hit singles "Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)", "All I Need Is a Miracle", "Over My Shoulder", and "The Living Years".

The main lineup for the band were Rutherford, vocalists Paul Carrack and Paul Young (formerly of chart band Sad Cafe), keyboardist Adrian Lee and drummer Peter Van Hooke. From their 1995 album Beggar on a Beach of Gold until Young's death in 2000, only Rutherford, Carrack and Young were permanent members of the line-up.
