Forming like a zillion other bands in 1977 and playing the infamous punk haunt the Roxy the Members first appeared on the Beggars Banquet compilation 'Street's with the punky Fear On The Streets. Following a one off unsuccessful single with Stiff they signed to Virgin and hit the jackpot with the classic Sound Of The Suburbs, their first release for the label.

Always a little more going on than yer standard ramamalama punk the Members incorporated reggae and and pop. More hits however didn't follow with Virgin who struggled to market the band as times and music changed. Ironically they would end up with a minor hit in the US with Working Girl before finally folding.
