Had Phillip Chevron in the band before they split up and he went on to found the Pogues. This Irish band had a couple of good singles like the one below Television Screen / Love Detective (1977 Chiswick) and Enemies / Psychotic Reaction (1977 Chiswick ). Eventually became the Radiators and had their sound smoothed and mellowed by Toni Visconti.

Roger Armstrong of Chiswick. "Radiators (From Space): This came via Eamon Carr of Horslips who I had worked for briefly in the early 70s in Ireland. I went to Dublin and cut TV Screen in a very funky studio, brought it back and mixed it over here and it still sounds great. The rest of the album was done in the same way, though I have never really been happy with the mix. If you want Radiator’s stories – Phil Chevron’s yer man for that. They eventually came over and settled here and toured a lot. Because of Ted’s connection they even opened for Thin Lizzy at one point. The 2^nd album Ghostown is revered in Ireland as a classic and was massively influential on the later Irish scene. The Radiators were the first punk band out of Ireland. Before punk they were a glam act called Greta Garbage & the Trash Cans. "

Radiators mainman Philip Chevron. Remembering those heady days, he had this to say to Get On The Right Track :"We took the time-honoured emigration trail in 1977, when Chiswick Records released our first album TV TUBE HEART", says Chevron today of their move from Dublin to London, "but found that our intentions were often misunderstood. While we shared many of the characteristics of the UK punk bands - the energy and the attitudes - we had nothing to say about tower-blocks or anarchy. "Our best songs came from our experience of growing up in an Ireland still paralysed by political and religious hypocrisies but which, we believed, was in its heart youthful and forward-thinking. We were the first Irish band to grapple with these contradictions but first and foremost we were a pop group and we could readily identify with the UK's 'No Fun' slogan."
