Yeah, English band as far as I know but found outlet on Bob Last's Earcom/Pop Aural label.
So underrated, they had wonderfully oblique takes on popular songs,,,Shake Some Action
remains a gem. Cruising Missiles is as good as anything OMD did....Never realised they had
an album...will purchase almost immediately. Thanks DE...your version of Shake Some put my
band's effort to shame. Hope one of you sees this...luv from Portsmouth, xxxxxx

English, not Scottish, according to the liner notes from the Medical Records double LP reissue.
Reached out to the band (through the label) and learned they were from Bray, about 25 miles west of London.
