Peter Wylie began his musical career in 1977 as a guitarist for the Crucial Three (with The Teardrop Explodes' Julian Cope and Echo & the Bunnymen's Ian McCulloch), for a couple months (Sept-Nov 1977). From the ashes of other short lived groups, the post-punk band 'Wah! Heat' eventually formed in February of 1979 with Pete Wylie on vocals and guitars, Rob Jones on drums and Colin Williams on bass, soon to be replaced by Pete ‘Kid’ Younger (ex Those Naughty Lumps). The three-piece act recorded their first single 'Better Scream' in February 1980.
