Despite getting a deal with MCA Records, and playing pretty catchy power-pop, few stations were willing to play them, not least because of the name and the uniforms, which was pretty edgy for the early 1980s (and possibly even today – certainly Bill O’Reilly would probably do a segment on them).

Anyway, they’re still around, if you want to know more. Meanwhile, listen to this.
