Budweiser commercial

The band holidayed in Thailand and, upon returning to England, “put their music career on the back burner for a time.” During this time the only appearance of the band was their cover of ” Wild Horses ” by The Rolling Stones appearing in a 1994 American Budweiser television commercial. Gavurin and Wheeler expressed a desire to settle down. Wheeler gave birth to the couple’s daughter, Billie, in March 1995. They also built a recording studio in their home, not only to save on the cost of renting a studio, but also to expand their creative freedoms. Their third, and most recent album, Static & Silence , was released to mixed reviews in September 1997, a full five years after Blind . Although the band retained much of the same sound that they developed on previous albums, they added horns to a number of tracks for Static & Silence . The album was not as successful as Reading, Writing and Arithmetic ; however, the single ” Summertime ” became their most successful hit to date on the UK chart and achieved a top 10 spot on the US Alternative Rock chart. It was The Sundays’ third most successful single in the US, behind “Here’s Where the Story Ends” (which made it to number 1 on the US Alternative Rock chart) and “Love” (which made it to number 2).
