Drums: Kingsley Harris (2)Grant Biggs Hughes

May-June 1982: First rehearsals were in the municiple garage of Nick Hamond of Riley Close on the Heartsease Estate until moving to The Heartsease Kabin. Harris played a blue metallic Maxwin 5 piece kit with Zyn and Super Zyn cymbals, although he soon realised that friend of the band Biggs had a more flare for the drums and sold the kit to him (much to his parents dismay). Brit played a Fender Music Master bass going through a Park 8 watt amp and Allen played a Jedson lead guitar amplified through his dads Sharp Music Centre along with Pye's vocals.

The group rehearse for around 2 months before splitting, during which time they only completed one song, the original Allen composition, This Is Our Protest. A live recording of this song does exist and was recorded live at a Kabin rehearsal.

By May 1983 the group had reformed and had renamed themselves Out Of The Blue
