    New Wave / Pop-Rock group from Edinburgh (and Dundee), in Scotland. On their formation in 1977, they were originally called Badger, but soon decided to change their name. Despite several attempts between 1979 and 1982, they only managed to chart once in the UK with the single 'The Shape Of Things To Come' reaching a high of no.45 on 14th October 1979.
    The band is best known for its single, "The Shape of Things to Come", which entered the UK Singles Chart on 22 September 1979. The track spent eight weeks on the chart, reaching number 45. This secured the band an appearance on Top of the Pops on 11 October 1979, the debut show for host Andy Peebles.
    The group released an album in 1979 on Robert Stigwood's RSO label, which was produced by Peter Ker (who also worked with The Motors, and Bram Tchaikovsky).
    The lack of any other UK chart hit left them labelled as one-hit wonders.
    In 2013, the band announced on their Facebook page that the ten tracks they had recorded for a follow-up album, but which remained unreleased, would be issued on CD under the title The Lost Album by the American record label, Pop Detective Records.

    This is the song I thought should have been a single release, but never was. They never got the follow up hit to 'Shape of things to come'. I saw them live and they crossed the power pop, new wave and rock genres. One great hit that lives on.. and I'll always love this very appropriately titled song with that catchy chorus and keyboard hook.
