Bio:

Cork's first punk band, sadly unrecorded. After Vincent Lyons left Berserk (later to found Factor Fiction with O'Mahony and O'Brien), a series of guitarists stepped in, including Denis Herlihy, now probably better known for his work as recording engineer and producer for many Cork bands (including the sublime Cypress Mine LP) but the band fizzled out.

Drummer Aidan McCarthy, the son of Joe McCarthy of 60s band The Dixies (Irish hits with Leapy Lee's "Little Arrows") started a series of new bands, most notably Kidz and Adolf Grunt, before his death in a car crash in 1981. RIP.

Original lineup:
Mike O'Brien (lead vocals), Vincent Lyons (guitar), Martin Kelliher (guitar), Paul O'Mahony (drums/vocals), Aidan McCarthy (drums/vocals)
Mike O'Brien later in Factor Fiction, Loko Parentis Vincent Lyons later in Orpheus, Factor Fiction
