Welsh post-punk band formed in Cardiff, Wales, in 1978. Their music was based around the vocals of Alison Statton along with the minimalist instrumentation of brothers Philip and Stuart Moxham. They released one studio album, Colossal Youth, in 1980. They also released two EPs and recorded a John Peel session.
Statton went on to form Weekend, who later became Working Week.
Moxham and Mottram became The Gist and made more records for [l51167].
