The sole release from the original incarnation of this band, Dirty Habits is a real obscurity, and a genuine collector's piece. Record Collector knows more about it than I do, so here's their piece on it:

The above doesn't mention that the band, in their heyday, played support to The Cure, Angelic Upstarts, The Rezillos and The mighty Fall...ah! They reunited in 1994 and kicked off their new career supporting Hugh Cornwell at the Middlesbrough Cornerhouse and they have since recorded and released several new discs.
