Coventry band. Classic single Red Alert / £8-A-Week (Squad 1978) . Sing along a punk with great riff and tune and a touch of 'The Kids In America' style crooning ! The b-side was covered by the Last Resort and is set to a sort of Johnny B Goode style toon. Second single Millionaire / BrockHill Boys (1979 Squad) continued this rock'n'roll style punkiness unfortunately. One other excellent track , 'The Flasher', exists by the band on the 'Sent To Coventry' compilation. The band were formed at the end of '77 and originally featured Terry Hall ( ater of The Specials) who is credited on the label of Red Alert. So many line up changes meant 6 months after releasing the two singles none of the original band remained !
