BiographyHistory

Australian punk-rock band, formed in 1982 in Punchbowl, New South Wales with founding members were Keish de Silva (lead vocals and drums), Peter 'Blackie' Black (guitar and backing vocals), and Ray Ahn (bass guitar).

The band disbanded in 1994, but reformed in 1997 to release further material, and have remained together ever since, with some changes to the line-up: in 2002, de Silva departed and was replaced by Peter Kostic (drums), while Black took on lead vocals. Kostic was later replaced by Murray Ruse in 2011, while de Silva returned as a guest vocalist in 2014, and rejoined permanently in 2016, before leaving again in 2021 and being replaced by You Am I frontman Tim Rogers.
