They made their debut early in 1976 at The Golden Eagle, Birmingham supporting Supanova (whose guitarist Keith Rimell would later join The Killjoys).

The band recorded their first demos "School Report," "Suzie’s Shinin'" and "Misspent Youth" at Nest Studios in Birmingham.

Due to constant delays on the release date, the band lost patience and went to the plant where the record was pressed (in Dagenham) and removed 950 copies.

[1] After bass player Stevie Cull left to be replaced by Peter Chapman, a 1000-strong petition from fans was gathered and sent to the BBC, which resulted in the appearance of Misspent Youth on "Look Hear" which took place in Dec 1979 at Pebble Mill Studios, Birmingham.

"[1] In November 2002 Garden Records released a CD compilation of their work titled The Punk Years 1976-1980 "that goes some way to capturing the bands appeal".
