The band then made four studio albums (plus a live album) for EMI and one studio album for Epic Records , in a period of eight years. 1985’s No Rest for the Wicked and associated single “No Rest” both made the mainstream top 30 in the UK, the latter leading to some controversy when the band sported T-shirts with the phrase “Only Stupid Bastards Use Heroin ” during an appearance on Top of the Pops . During the “No Rest” tour, bassist Stuart Morrow left the band, and was replaced by 17-year-old Jason “Moose” Harris . However the band were refused work permits to enter the United States, as the US Immigration Department had said the band’s work was of “no artistic merit”.
