The Boys came together when singer/guitarist Matt Dangerfield left the punk band London SS in September 1975 to form a new band with ex- Hollywood Brats keyboard player Casino Steel . Dangerfield’s art college friend, guitarist Honest John Plain, was recruited and in June 1976, two of Plain’’s co-workers at a T-shirt printing company, bassist Duncan “Kid” Reid and drummer Jack Black, completed the line-up. Steel (ex-Hollywood Brats) and Dangerfield played in the London SS together. The band’s early recordings were made in a home recording studio which Dangerfield had set up in his rented basement apartment in Maida Vale .
