The Men (pop rock band)

The Men were an American pop rock band from Santa Monica, California. Despite its name, the group had two women as members. The group released a self-titled album on Polygram Records in 1992 (produced and engineered by David Leonard[1]), which hit #22 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart[2] on the strength of the single "Church of Logic, Sin, and Love". The tune hit #8 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart,[3] but it was their only hit, and the group disbanded soon after. Their video got into medium rotation on MTV.[4]
