Marc Heal took over as vocalist following the departure of original front-man Bill Colbourne, after the recording of a self-titled CD that was released by Canadian label Brouhaha in 1988. The line up in early 1990 was Marc Heal on vocals, Si Rapley on guitar, Graham Rayner on keyboards, and Mick Caddick on drums.
In June 1990, Westwon signed to UK metal label Music for Nations on the FAA imprint, releasing two singles: "National Radio" (1991) and "Control" (1992). The dance remixes of "Control" were fair sized club hit. By the time of the single releases, the band became a two-piece with only Heal and Rapley remaining. A second album was recorded but never released.
Westwon disbanded in 1992 and Heal went on to form Cubanate with Graham Rayner.
