Post-punk band from the Camborne/Redruth area who would relocate to London and achieve a small amount of success in the indie music scene.

The band released a self pressed single 'Shake/Rake' which got them noticed by Human Records. After releasing the bands 'Touch' the label folded. They were then picked up with Jamming! Records, a label part funded by Paul Weller.

The band's first single for the label, a 6 minute version of the Temptations 'Ball of Confusuion' was played all over BBC Radio 1 and scored the band a minor hit. They followed this up with 'Stop!' and a third single 'Over Again'. 'Over Again' would prove to be their last. The song wasn't run by Paul Weller, who hated it. Weller was at the time in the middle of the break-up of the Jam and had his mind elsewhere, the Zeitgeist single would give him an excuse to withdraw his funding for Jamming!.

With the limited success of the later singles and without a record label the band folded not long afterwards.
