===Big Audio Dynamite II (1991β1993)=== For 1991's ''[[The Globe (album)|The Globe]]'', only Jones remained from the original incarnation of Big Audio Dynamite, and the band was now called "Big Audio Dynamite II". This new line-up featured two guitarists. The album sleeve was designed by [[Shawn Stussy]]. ''The Globe'' (1991) featured the band's most commercially successful single, "[[Rush (Big Audio Dynamite II song)|Rush]]", which hit No. 1 on both the US Modern Rock Tracks chart and the Australian National [[ARIA Charts|ARIA]] Chart. "Rush" was also released in the United Kingdom with the 1991 re-release of [[the Clash]]'s "[[Should I Stay or Should I Go]]". The sleeve art for the 7-inch and CD singles displayed the Clash on the front, and BAD II on the rear with the record label displaying "Should I Stay or Should I Go" as side "A" and "Rush" as side "AA". Even though it was effectively a double A-side release, the Chart Information Network/Gallup decided that only the Clash would be credited with a number one hit. "Innocent Child" and "[[The Globe (song)|The Globe]]" were also released as singles. BAD supported U2 on their [[Zoo TV Tour]], headlined the [[MTV]] [[120 Minutes]] tour which also featured [[Public Image Ltd]], [[Live (band)|Live]], and [[Blind Melon]],<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-03-28-ca-4201-story.html|title=O.C.

In 1991, while Jones formed Big Audio Dynamite II, the rest of the original line-up briefly formed a band called Screaming Target. They released one studio album ''Hometown Hi-Fi'' and two singles "Who Killed King Tubby?" and "Knowledge N Numbers" before disbanding. The title and album cover art were purposely meant as a tribute to Jamaican [[reggae]] [[Toasting (Jamaican music)|deejay]] [[Big Youth]]'s debut studio album ''[[Screaming Target]]'' (1972). In 1993, Greg Roberts formed the electronic band [[Dreadzone]] with Tim Bran, with the name suggested to them by Don Letts. Bassist Leo Williams and keyboardist Dan Donovan joined the band before their second studio album ''[[Second Light]]'' and the single "Little Britain" in 1995. Dreadzone is still active, with Roberts and Williams remaining members.
