The Pursuit of Happiness are a Canadian college rock group, who were one of Canada's most successful independent bands in the 1980s. Led by Edmonton, Alberta singer/songwriter Moe Berg, The Pursuit of Happiness were launched in 1985 when Berg and drummer Dave Gilby moved to Toronto, Ontario. They soon met bassist Johnny Sinclair and formed the band, adding twins Tam Amabile and Tasha Amabile as backing vocalists. Their debut single, "I'm an Adult Now", quickly became a smash hit across Canada in 1986, sparked by a low-budget video which made it onto the Canadian music video channel MuchMusic. However, the band did not immediately sign to a record label, and released another independent single, "Killed by Love", in 1988. The Amabile twins left the band that year, and were replaced by Kris Abbott and Leslie Stanwyck. Also in 1988, they signed to Chrysalis Records. Their debut album, Love Junk, was produced by Todd Run
