Their debut album Talk About The Weather was released in 1985, reaching Number three on the NME Indie Rock Album Charts. Subsequent albums included Paint Your Wagon (1986) and Blow (1989), with notable singles like "Chance" and "Spinning Round".

The band underwent several lineup changes and hiatuses, notably in 1990 when Chris Reed temporarily disbanded the group.
