In 1987, The Bel-Vistas began from an earlier band, The Game from the east of Toronto, Canada. The line-up consisted of:
Mark Ripp (lead vocals, guitar)
Bob "Buzz" Hamlyn (lead guitar, backing vocals)
John Toffoli (drums, percussion)
Micheal Baxter (bass, backing vocals)
A self-titled cassette of original songs was issued around Toronto at their gigs and the tape came to the attention of Eureka Records' Joel Wertman who signed the quartet. The label released 1992's 'Somewhere Along The Line' which resulted in three successful singles on local radio.
