Originally called Trojan, but changing their name to avoid conflict with another similarly-named act of the time, Troyen recorded their only commercial demo, featuring the four tracks 'Dreams Never Lie', 'Futures Friend', 'Don't Send Me To War' and 'Crazy. The engineer on the session was Gil Norton, who went on to become a renowned producer on the alternative scene; Troyen were one of his first projects. A six-week European tour with Nightwing tightened the band considerably, and on their return to the UK they recorded 'Free Wheelin'', and possibly 'Syrian Lady' at the same time.
