In July 1978 They Signed To Island Records And Released A Promising Four-Track EP. Their 1980 Debut LP 'Evening Standards' Included A Highly Derivative Though Memorable Single Called "Back Of My Hand" Which Had Reached The U.K. Top 40 The Previous Fall. Breaking Through Into The Rock Mainstream In A Big Way The Band Seemed Set For Success Even Performing On 'Top Of The Pops'. However The Follow-Up Single "Woman's World" Barely Scraped Its Way On To The Charts. Though 'Evening Standards' Featured A Really Solid Set Of Punchy Power Pop Songs Critics Focused Instead On Watkinson's Heavily Elvis Costello-Like Delivery Writing The Band Off As Merely Mimics.

Besides Being Cherished By Many Underground Rock Fans It's Also Been Included In The Soundtrack Of The American Comedy Film 'You Me And Dupree'.
