British pub rock/R&B group formed in North London in the late-'70s, with a short peak in the early-'80s. Peter Staines (guitar), Tony Oliver (guitar), Ben Donnelly (bass) and Jim Russell (drums) emerged in the late-'70s as a UK R&B group in the style of Dr. Feelgood. They failed to hit the UK chart in 1979 with their debut single, a cover of the '60s garage rock track 'Dirty Water' (originally recorded by The Standells), but succeeded to chart elsewhere. However, the follow-up, which was also a cover, 'The Walk', managed to reach no.36 in the UK top 40 (6th January 1980), as well as earning them an appearance on Top Of The Pops (13th December 1979).
