Formed in Leicestershire in 1983 by vocalist Derek Hammond and guitarist John Grayland, this inventive post-punk act got a break when they caught the ear of BBC Radio 1's John Peel. Over the next two years, they recorded five singles and an album for Marc Riley's In Tape label -- as well as four sessions for Peel -- dabbling in psychedelia as their repertoire grew. The band split in 1986, despite becoming regulars on the U.K. indie chart. However, 2012 brought a re-formation at Grayland's 50th birthday party, which led to more gigs and 2015's Automatically Saturday.
