Tom Larkin and Jon Toogood formed Exit in 1985 in Wellington with various short-term fellow school members. Larkin and Toogood had met at Wellington High School , and shared an interest in heavy metal. They were generally found in the school’s music room, as Toogood later recalled, “That’s where we learnt to be a band – it had amps and a guitar and a drum-kit – that’s what kept us at school.” During their Year 11 school ball, having no one to dance with, they spray-painted graffiti in the toilets, including “AC/DC Rules”, and were suspended from school.
