T2 were a British progressive rock band, best known for their 1970 album It'll all work out in Boomland. It is regarded as an excellent album by the progressive rock community[1].
T2 evolved from an earlier band called Neon Pearl which had been led by drummer Pete Dunton. Dunton was by 1968 a member of Please which also included fellow Neon Pearl member Bernard Jinks. When that band broke up in 1969, due to Dunton's joining Gun alongside Adrian Gurvitz, Jinks became a member of Bulldog Breed.
T2 then formed when Dunton reunited with bassist Jinks and late period Bulldog Breed guitarist Keith Cross. The trio played a form of pyschedelic or proto-prog rock which was similar in content to that played by the earlier bands its members had been in but placed far greater emphasis on the incendiary guitar playing of the teenage Keith Cross giving them some similarity in sound to power trios such as Cream.
Cutting their since neglected and engigmatically titled It'll All Work Out In Boomland the trio played a series of successful dates and returned to the studio to begin work on the follow up album. In the event the album, posthumously released, Fantasy was not to be released as the band collapsed in disarray.
