That Petrol Emotion were a Northern Irish-, London-based band with a North American vocalist, Steve Mack. Initially featuring two former members of celebrated Derry pop-punk band The Undertones, the brothers John O'Neill (until 1988) and Damian O'Neill, plus ex-members of fellow Derry bands Bam Bam and The Calling and Derry Hitmakers. They recorded five albums between 1985 and 1993, exploring an eclectic fusion of alternative rock, post-punk, garage rock and dance music (including samplings) which in part anticipated and overlapped with the dance-pop era of the beginning at the 1990s.
Following a 15-year break, the band reunited in 2008 for various dates, tours and festival appearances before returning to hiatus in 2010. Four members of the band went on to form The Everlasting Yeah.
