the mid-1980s. Based in Vancouver, British


Columbia, the band consisted of vocalist Thomas

and drummer Terry Russell.[1]
Hamm and Russell had previously been in a West
Point Grey punk band called Chuck & the Fucks,
playing an infamous concert at Queen Mary

the teachers forced the children to leave.
They recorded and released their debut single, "I
Broke the Circle", in 1985 on Zulu Records, and
followed up with the EP Against the Glass in
1986.[1] The band's style was also cited as an
influence on the nascent grunge rock movement in

adoption of clothing styles such as flannel shirts,
ripped jeans and heavy boots.[1
