 Slaughter & The Dogs  

Frustrated by lack of success, Slaughter & The Dogs had broken up leaving just Mike  Rossi and Zip Bates. Recruiting Phil Rowland ex of Eater and a young guitarist Billy Duffy (ex Nosebleeds and later to figure in The Cult) they formed Studio Sweethearts (what a name!) and released an average sounding single I Believe /It Isn't Me (DJM Records 1979).

However with the single getting nowhere and venues unprepared to book a band with no history or success, but prepared to book Slaughter & The Dogs, the Sweethearts ended and a reformed Slaughter with Phil Rowland on drums and Wayne Barrett back on Vocals reentered the fray.
