Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.

Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.

sampaikanlah pada ibuku
aku pulang terlambat waktu
ku akan menaklukan malam
dengan jalan pikiranku
sampaikanlah pada bapakku
aku mencari jalan atas keresahan-keresahan ini
kegelisahan manusia
retaklah

malam yang dingin
tak pernah berhenti berjuang
pecahkan teka-teki malam
tak pernah berhenti berjuang
pecahkan teka-teki keadilan
berbagi waktu dengan alam
kau akan tau siapa dirimu yang sebenarnya
hakikat manusia
tak pernah berhenti berjuang
pecahkan teka-teki malam
tak pernah berhenti berjuang
pecahkan teka-teki keadilan
keadilan
