1985's follow-up EP Out from the Void has often been cited as a game changer amongst their genre for fusing a raw punk rock style with elements of metal.

[1] The band address issues including animal rights and social justice, communicating their ideas to a largely punk rock audience, and were among the instigators of the squat venue scene in the mid to late 1980s.

They performed one tour with the hugely influential hardcore punk band Discharge before taking on a more anarchist leaning political edge.

The band's debut album In Darkness there is No Choice was released in January 1984 on the Spiderleg Records label that was run by Flux of Pink Indians.

The band went through numerous line up changes, and as a three piece of Lyons, Bryson and Paluskiewicz, had recorded most of the material for a second album (provisionally entitled Welcome to the New Dark Ages), but it was never completed.

Tour dates for the UK, Europe and US were announced for late 2011 and spring 2012 and in December 2011 the band returned to the studio to record a new 10-inch single, containing the previously unreleased 1982 track "4 Minutes Past Midnight" and a re-recorded version of 1985's "Out From The Void (Part 2)".

[6] Caps's first show was at the Hygget festival in Sweden where the band's headlining set was abandoned midway through with Pete Lyons taken to hospital for what proved to be emergency heart surgery.

Containing a photo booklet and also liner notes by Pete Lyons, the record was remastered and cut direct to analogue from the original 1983 stereo masters.
