Morphine (band)

Morphine was an early 1990s cult band, an indie rock group that released their debut, Good in 1991. The album received positive reviews and established a small but devoted audience. Their next album was Cure for Pain[?], which achieved some mainstream listeners, as did the follow-up, Yes[?].

In 1996, Morphine signed to Dreamworks Records[?] and released their major label debut, Like Swimming[?]; the album was a critical success but did not break the band into the mainstream as had been hoped. Frontman Mark Sandman[?] died of a heart attack during a performance in Rome in 1999.
