Formed in Oakham Rutland in late 1979, the band played a mixture of Pop, Rock, punk and ska. They were on the Radio 1 play list, and featured on the John Peel show, as well as Mike Read’s Round Table. They went on to release two singles in 1980, the first being "(I Can't) Put My Finger On You" b/w "Tell You A Lie" and the second, "Can We Go Dancing?" b/w "You Should See What I Do To You In My Dreams" The debut single was released on the "S & T" label (aka "Sound of Leicester") in 1980.
