Formed: Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
Great catchy punk with cool teenage angst lyrics:
Living around here makes me want to throw up
Cuz people around here say we gotta grow up
Sadly split soon after this one single. Bassist Derek Forbes played in Simple Minds until 1985, then German synth types Propaganda, before eventually joining Big Country. Guitarist Kevin Key went on to The Jolt and The Primevals. Drummer Alisdair MacKenzie came up for air in The Alleged, The Cuban Heels and Apes In Control!, and found some brief minor fame as a producer. Vocalist Callum Cuthbertson appeared to do nothing music-wise after the split.
