Apart from the occassional Steve Tallis gig all the rest are but a memory. None of these bands had any real impact on the scene. In fact, I have never heard of any of them apart from Tallis.

They were a great live original jump rock band playing their own songs mainly ska, rock and white boy reggae with a political edge.
David Lee the main songwriter and singer went on to form the 'Twitch' with ex chaptie Tony Redd and Mark Constable (ex Pushrods). Lee and Reed have recently formed a new band in Perth called 'May Contain Traces of Nuts'.
