From a small market town in the North of England, it was difficult to attract interest from London based recording companies. Beggars Banquet Records got there first and with a distribution deal from WEA:

The Press said:
"On the poppier side of power-pop, with echoey vocals. A bit out of step with the times, unless there was a chill teeny-bop movement I'm not aware of. The sort of group one wishes continued and developed their sound."

“Catchy sixties style music with witty lyrics".

“Good breezy new wave power pop".
