BiographyHistory

Australian punk rock band formed in 1979 with a line-up that included Dave Morris (rhythm guitar) and Kent Steedman (lead guitar), who met while at Davidson High School and The Forest State High School respectively. Later joined by Damien Lovelock (vocals). They released their first album, Sideroxylon, in April 1983 on the Hot Records label.

Lovelock died in 2019, and the band announced that, barring a tribute concert, they would no longer perform.
