History & Biography
A UK punk, hardcore and crossover band whose You Were Warned... double LP was a reissue of Scrap Metal and Violence Sucks and therefore a compilation. The second album was more metallic than the punk/hardcore debut. The group was active between 1983 and 1988. The band was often described as overtly political. Paul Halmshaw founded Peaceville.

The band returned in 2017, played at the Rebellion Festival, gigged around Europe and disbanded again in 2024. The act had appeared at the Anti Fascist Network's show in 2018.
