Bristol band 1978-1981, not to be confused with the later Scottish band The Xcerts.
Originally started in 1978 as a Punk Band they released the track Blue Movies on the Heartbeat Records 1979 EP 4 Alternatives, and subsequently had Anthem included on the record labels seminal compilation album Avon Calling. They contributed two tracks to Bristol Recorder 2, and were including reggae by the time of their 1981 Recreational Records single Together/Untogether. This was to be their last recording as they split up in early 1981 when Chris Bostock was recruited by Bernie Rhodes to play with Johnny Britton.
Tracks have been re-released over the years including in 2011 the retrospective album Fussing & Fighting on Bristol Archive Records.
