Europeans (sometimes referred to as The Europeans) were a British new wave group formed in London in 1981 and disbanded in 1985. They released two studio albums and one live album, none of which achieved much in terms of chart position. In 1989, their former keyboard player and co-lead vocalist Steve Hogarth joined Marillion as lead vocalist. This group should not be confused with the similarly named Europeans, a Bristol band that were active between 1977 and 1979.
