It was backed with "No Angels"; both songs were a combination of punk rock and power pop, although more punk than the group's subsequent singles and the album, which were more new wave-oriented.
The single was played a lot by DJ John Peel, who shortly afterwards recorded and broadcast sessions with the band,[2] and garnered the attention of Arista Records, who signed the group.[3]
The band comprised vocalist and guitarist Willie Gardner (previously in Hot Valves), and ex-PVC2 members, bassist Russell Webb, keyboardist Billy McIsaac and drummer Kenny Hyslop. Their next single, "Sign of the Times" was released shortly afterwards on Arista Records.
