In 1992, Caroline Kennedy-McCracken formed indie pop four-piece The Plums with guitarist Steve Moffat and drummer Shamus Goble; all three had previously played in the band Jack and the Beanstalk. They were joined by Pete McCracken on bass guitar. According to rock music historian Ian McFarlane, "The Plums mixed strident guitar riffs with melodic pop roots. Kennedy was the band's focal point with her tough-but-graceful presence, opinionated views and emotion-charged, if imperfect, vocals". The band released two EPs on Mushroom's Temptation label, 'Au Revoir Sex Kitten' and 'Read All Over'. The album 'Gun' followed in 1994. The band's final recording was the 'Heavenly' EP, released in 1995. The band broke up the same year. In 1995, Kennedy-McCracken joined pop group Deadstar as vocalist.
