The music group was set alongside the Pogues and loved by quite similar audience.

Another members of the original formations had been vocalist and guitarist Jon Townend, keyboardist and vocalist Jo Swiss, and bassist Martin Appleby. The initial record release out of this number was within the scrambled Eggs Will Walk label, a 12″ 1986 EP that included assaults on traditional tunes.
