An English post-punk band, formed in 1979 and active from then until 1981. Their members were: Simon Brighton (guitarist)
Terry Welbourn (bassist)
Colin Hopkirk (vocalist)
Nick Green (drummer)
They are sometimes attributed to being the writers of The Most Mysterious Song on The Internet, due to two of their most famous songs (The Cinema Clock and Strangers) sounding similar, although this has been mostly debunked. Their songs are actually pretty good, I would recommend checking them out.
