After Visage disbanded in 1985, vocalist Steve Strange put a new band together the same year.

The recording of the album took place in late 1985 in Germany, in a studio near Nuremberg.

[2] Mike Hedges produced the album, with contributions from Simon Hanhart and Steve Forward.

The album was a commercial disappointment, failing to enter the chart.

Two singles taken off the album, "Rebel Blue Rocker" and a cover of Sonny & Cher's "The Beat Goes On", were also unsuccessful.
