Formed in mid 1977 in the Birmingham area and proclaiming themselves 'The world's most violent rock group' they managed one single Traffic Lights / Teacher Teacher (Dynamite Records 1978) that is one of the rarest in punk and without a picture sleeve to boot! Rarity does not equal quality, though it does have a certain charm.

The NME's Paul Morley described it as "Archaic rock song sneered with incongruous, but violently necessary contempt. Oh so flat." And that fairly sums it up! To put it in perspective Magazine's Shot by Both Sides, The Advert's No Time To Be 21 and 999's Emergency were all released in the same week.

Some how 11 months later the band were still going this time featured in the NME 11.11.78 offering 15K to anyone who would top themselves on stage. Unlikely this happened and the band passed into history with no more known about them. Allegedly they were working on an album when they signed to Dynamite records in Sep '78 but nothing came of it.

"They had a woman in their ranks... Lucy Nation (or something similar) guitarist I think. The band was fronted by Bob Allcock who wrote the tracks on their single." James Denholm 7.8.04
