English Britpop band formed in the mid-1990s by Andy Bell with vocalist Alex Lowe; released the album Only The Strongest Will Survive (1999) and singles including "Step Into My World" and "The Greatest High".

Hurricane #1 was formed by Andy Bell after his time in Ride. The band's output in the late 1990s drew comparisons to other Britpop acts; Andy Bell later became associated with Oasis. Their work includes a notable My Bloody Valentine remix of "Rising Sign" and a mix of singles and an album that received mixed reviews.

DeBaser reviews praise catchy singles (notably 'The Greatest High' and 'Step Into My World') while criticizing the band's albums as derivative and uneven. Andy Bell's link to Ride and Oasis is repeatedly noted. Remixes and psychedelic elements (a My Bloody Valentine remix) are highlighted.

For:Fans of Britpop and 1990s/2000s British alternative rock; listeners curious about Andy Bell's projects beyond Ride and Oasis.

 Andy Bell, after the beautiful Ride and before the decadent Oasis, imitated his future Mancunian leader, crafting a few cute songs, aided by the glue-and-sand voice of Alex Lowe, yet another talented epigone of an already geriatric Rod Stewart, while the rest of the band is more than negligible.

 This single turned out to be very catchy on the first listen, despite containing only two tracks (actually there are three: two versions of the single, a complete 7-minute one and a "radio edit", plus an unreleased version of "Rising Sign").
