The band's 1991 album Spartacus reached number 1 in the UK Albums Chart.[1] Three singles from the band reached the Top 10 in the UK Singles Chart; 1990's "Groovy Train" and "All Together Now", as well as the 2004 remix of "All Together Now".[2][3]

After completing a Master's Degree in Multi Media Design and Production in 1995, Hunter went on to direct, produce and write a number of short films in the late 1990s, including Blood Sports for All: The Punk Kes and Birthday Boy.[4][5]
Since the early 2000s, Hunter has worked closely with Frank Cottrell Boyce (writer of Millions and 24 Hour Party People). In 2007, they released the feature film Grow Your Own, a British comedy set on a Merseyside allotment. Hunter acted as a producer and co-writer on the film. Alongside this, he has continued to direct short films and documentaries for television and film festivals. In 2009, Hunter adapted the short story Accelerate, written by Cottrell Boyce for The Reader, into a short online film.[6]
In 2011, Hunter worked as photographic illustrator on Cottrell Boyce's book The Unforgotten Coat, which won the 2012 Guardian Children's Fiction Prize and the 2012 Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis.[7][8]
He directed Sometimes Always Never, a feature film written by Cottrell Boyce, that was produced in Northwest England. In May 2016, it was announced that Bill Nighy had joined the cast.[9] The film was released in 2018.
