Formed at King Edward VI school in the summer of 1976 the band played mainly low key gigs.

In 1977 the band ventured into their local studio and recorded the following tracks:

 

SuperMouse

(About a boy whose mum don't give him SuperMouse coz she has gone and left him)

Fascist

(A nice little ditty about being a right wing scum bag in the 70's) 

Land of the Dead

(Another ditty about the middle class housing estates in Morpeth in particular Kirkhill) 

Upper Class Cretin

(About a certain individual who came to our school in the 6th form, he was adopted by his uncle and was a real wanker) 

Smash The Front

(Another little ditty about how rock against racism had to voice their anger at the national front and the racism it promoted in the 70's)  

 

The final gig was at Morpeth Rugby Club in 1978

Our influences were 'Iggy Pop', 'Penetration', 'Sex Pistols', 'Velvet Underground', 'Lou Reed'.
