After a series of vinyl releases on Australian independent labels including Phantom Records,[1] and success on the Australian indie scene, they came to the attention of BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel who started to play the band's Phantom Records single 'Goes So Slow' on his show.

[2] They were among the few Australian bands to record Peel Sessions – others were The Birthday Party, The Triffids, The Go-Betweens and Laughing Clowns.

[5] In 2016, the band reformed (minus Paul Clarke) to play NYC Popfest and added some further shows to mark the release of 'Yellow Food: The Peel Sessions', a compilation album of the complete sessions recorded for the BBC between 1992 and 1993.

In 2018, a 25-year re-issue of the Sarah Records LP Feral Pop Frenzy[6] was released on Emotional Response and also as a Rough Trade coloured vinyl exclusive in the UK and USA.

The band toured the UK in July 2018 headlining a bill with a classic Sarah Records lineup of Secret Shine, Boyracer and Action Painting!, finishing with a headline slot on the Loco Stage at the Indietracks festival.
