==Links to Peel==
The band's debut single, Four Sore Points... released in 1980 had the track, Something New, which featured the lyrics, "Take a little listen to your John Peel show". It is not known whether the song was played on Peel's show, but according to available playlists from this site, the band's music seemed to have caught the attention of the DJ in 1981, when he played tracks from their first album, The Last Call. One of the tracks, No Government, was mentioned by Peel to have entered at number 55 in the 1981 Festive Fifty. However, the song was not played on his shows, due to its political lyrics mentioning Margaret Thatcher, as well as the track being ranked outside the top 50.
