Formed in Coventry in 1980, consisted of The Specials' roadies Trevor Evans (Keyboards) and Johnny Rex (drums) plus Kevin Tanner (bass), Stuart MacLean (guitar) and Gary 'Judge' Chambers (vocals). Prior to their single at Shack Records (2) (the label that Neville Staple along with his then girlfriend, The Bodysnatchers' Stella Barker launched at Coventry) recorded a three song session for John Peel in early February 1981 based in their connection with Golding and The Specials. The session included the A and B side of the single as well as the song "Dark Night". The band scored a support slot opening for Hazel O'Connor and their short set list included their three original songs plus 2 covers ("Too Hot" by The Specials and "Johnny Too Bad" later covered by 21_guns_2_21_guns.zip
