This was 'Tonight's' debut single, which got to number #14 in the UK national charts. Believed to be the first band labeled as 'Power Pop', personally I'm not into all this labeling of music but it's sometimes difficult to avoid. This was another band that if you were into 'real' punk you weren't supposed to like, but I always liked 'Drummer Man' and is easily the stand out track here, however the b-side 'Stroll On By' is also a catchy little (power pop) song.No picture sleeve with my copy I'm afraid, so you will have to do with just the single, unless anyone has a scan.
They orgianlly planned to release an album to follow this single but it never happened. But if you visit their site you will see it may be released sometime this year. If you want to know more

I also remember liking this, despite not being supposed to. Haven't heard it since I was 12, probably. Cheers for this.
Excellent, of course. Never really did go for "Money" or "Wheels", but "Jealousy Kills" was another goodie so here's hoping that they get the LP together...
Hi John, the best thing about being older is that you don't care what other people think any longer.
Hi Steve, yep I'm waiting to see of the album comes out. Their web site said march but I know these things can take longer.
