Toronto-area Portuguese immigrant Allan Coelho wanted to fuse his enthusiasm as a part-time DJ and a constant clubber with his weekend pop dreams playing in local bands.
Coelho, school mates Tony DaCosta and Paul Silva became French Kiss, at that time a wedding and event band.
When change came to them musically, they decided a name change was in order.
They put together the first letter of each of their given names, Tony, Allan and Paul, added an extra "p" and pluralized to became Tapps, and lead singer Candy Berthiaume was added to the mix.
The name of the band is an acronym of the three original members names (Tony DaCosta, Allan Coelho, Paul Silva).
Tapps split in 1988 and reunited as a touring act in 2003 with Maryam Zadeh as the new lead singer, although the band hasn't released any new music since the reunion.
RE-Turn (2011): Een verzamelalbum met geremixte versies van hun klassieke tracks.
Bekendste singles:
"My Forbidden Lover" (1983): Hun grootste succes, geproduceerd door Vincent DeGiorgio.
"Runaway (With My Love)" (1984): Een populaire opvolger die ook in de Nederlandse dancelijsten verscheen.
"Burning With Fire" (1984): De enige andere track die voortkwam uit hun vroege opnamesessies voor een album.
"Hurricane" en "Don't Pretend To Know".
