Poppy Factory were an English indie rock band from Bradford, England, signed to Chrysalis Records.[1] They released one EP and three singles. Their debut, the Fabulous Beast EP, met critical acclaim and was played by a number of radio DJs and stations (it was notably thrashed by Rock FM's Tim Lancaster), though its chart performance did not match industry reception. Next came the 7-inch "Stars", and then "7x7" (composers Cotton/Dale/MacDonald), produced by David Creffield.

The band's contract with Chrysalis foundered, and they self-released a 12-inch promo, "Drug House" before fading into obscurity.

The band's frontman Mickey Dale later rose to fame as the keyboard player for Embrace.[2]
