Submitted songs to CFNY contest

The band was formed by Ron Hawkins , Stephen Stanley and David Alexander, all members of the band Popular Front, as a side project at a time when their other band was going through internal tensions that eventually led to its breakup. While performing as a trio in folk clubs, they met John Arnott, who became the band’s fourth member. The band’s punk-inspired jangle pop quickly became a popular draw on the Queen Street West club circuit in Toronto . They submitted the songs “Gamble” and “Motel 30”, produced by Bob Wiseman , to the $100,000 CFNY Discovery to Disc contest in 1991.
