Formed from the ashes of 415, the ERIC MARTIN BAND were expected to be the next big thing from the Bay Area, fronted by fresh faced vocalist Eric Martin. 415 had made a significant impact on the local scene with Martin, who could count KID COURAGE as another of his former bands. With management from the same team that plotted the rise of JOURNEY, the act's 'Sucker For A Pretty Face' debut album was co-produced by JOURNEY soundman Kevin Elson and .38 SPECIAL producer Rodney Mills. It featured covers of the Franke Miller / Andy Fraser penned 'Don't Stop' and Gary O' Conner's 'Just Another Pretty Boy'.

Despite the radio oriented nature of the record and short tours opening for ZZ TOP, MOLLY HATCHET and QUARTERFLASH, America failed to take the bait and the group would split as Martin was guided towards a career in AOR as a solo artist.

Of the other members of the ERIC MARTIN BAND only drummer Troy Luccketta would achieve major success as a member of TESLA, having joined the group in their original incarnation of CITY KIDD

Of course, ERIC MARTIN, after a batch of solo albums, later created the internationally renowned MR. BIG with ex-TALAS, UFO and DAVID LEE ROTH bassist Billy Sheehan and former RACER X guitarist PAUL GILBERT. The band would eventually hit the number 1 spot in the American singles chart, justifying those who had faith in the singer's undoubted ability. Martin struck out solo once more upon the demise of MR. BIG in 2002.

Martin, Nymann, Ross, Jacobson and Luccketta engaged in a 415 reunion in early 2006. The ERIC MARTIN BAND performed European concerts in Spain and Italy during July 2008.
