Failing to reach the popularity expected, they were subsequently dropped from their label. They returned to the studio and released "Dig Down Deep" independently in 1988 followed by "Stand Tall" in 1989. They also flirted with a name change to "The Tide" around this time. Eventually, they withdrew from the music scene and moved on with their personal lives.
Steve "Eddie" Rice has released two solo albums since then. One in 2000 entitled "It All Comes Down To Love" and one in 2009 entitled "My Days In The Dessert". Also, the albums Go Out and Get It and Looking For Adventure were finally released on compact disc and available from the band website.
