Chris McCormack. They recorded a demo and signed to Bleeding Hearts Records, toured with bands such as
Girlschool and
The Wildhearts, then released their debut album,
Blasthead, in 1993. In late 1994, McCormack and Wallace both left the band, with Ridley taking up guitar to fill in. They released their second album,
Gunk, in 1996, with solo contributions from Skyclad guitarist
Steve Ramsey. Ridley left in 1997 to join Skyclad (who he had been acting as a producer for years prior) as a second guitarist, later taking up vocal duties for them as well. Gallon and Wallace later went on to form punk rock band Automatic. Chris McCormack also formed a new band, 3 Colours Red, with Pete Vuckovic, Ben Harding and ex-Skyclad drummer Keith Baxter. == Personnel ==
