The band was completed when Goggin met Karl Butler through a university friend, and the foursome began rehearsing and writing in a studio in Maidstone, Kent.

The first year was spent playing low key gigs in the Medway Towns, until a demo of the track "Police" made it onto Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone show on BBC Radio 6 Music.

Brigadier Ambrose followed this up with a small tour of England, a highlight being the a performance on the BBC Introducing stage at the Latitude Festival (travelling to which some of the band were involved in a motorway crash with a juggernaut).

The song marked a change of pace for the band following their frantic opening singles and drew comparisons with the likes of Felt and Pulp.

The band eventually released the single in April 2008, accompanied by a tour with BBC Introducing and the fringe event of Radio 1's Big Weekend.

Though originally recorded in 2008 and early 2009, the band finally released their debut album Fuzzo on CD and digital download in February 2010.

Brigadier Ambrose featured in Stephen H. Morris' book Do It Yourself: a History of Music in Medway, published by Cultured Llama in April 2015.
