Lineup
Career
The band toured infrequently (with Killing Joke) but recorded several sessions for the BBC with John Peel and Janice Long. They produced a much more energetic sound than contemporary bands but seemed unable to capture the volume and energy of their live performances on record. A John Peel session recorded live at the London I.C.A. came closest to capturing the band at their best. The band claimed bands such as MC5, The Stooges, Ramones, Heartbreakers and The Clash as their influences, something heard more on later recordings although early tracks show a more rockabilly and punk influence. New single to be released October 2012 with a new album to follow November 2012 via Thudmonkeyinc.
