Bio:

The band existed in two distinct phases. The first was active during 1986-87 when the lineup was Justin Kelly (vocals), David Meagher (guitar), Paddy Glackin (bass), and Noel Larkin (drums). This version of the band appears on the Comet Records sampler.

The second phase lasted from 1989-91. The lineup was the same apart from Aidan McNamara repacing Paddy Glackin on bass. Stephen Farrell joined on keyboards during 1990-91. This second phase recorded much stronger material, including the Firewalking EP an excellent single "Swerve" / "Justice" which unfortunately was never released (no test pressings either). There are many more unreleased recordings.
