Calvo left the band and was replaced by bassist Christian 'Chris O'Bell' Belleau, while Brisson's departure coincided with the recording of the 222s first single, I Love Susan b/w The First Studio Bomb.

In 1981, the band had been performing a cover of Michel Polnareff's La Poupée qui fait Non, and went into the studio to record it.

The 7" "La poupée qui fait non", with an instrumental version of the song on the B-Side, was released in 1981 on Gamma Records[7] and got a fair amount of airplay in Quebec.

Louie Rondeau teamed up with the 222s assistant manager Marc Fontaine in 1982 to form the successful synthpop group Nudimension.

[13] Chris Barry was briefly in a band named 'Bram' with Michael Bramon; they recorded a few demos but Barry moved to England, where he would join with ex-Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock and ex-Generation X guitar player James Stevenson in a band called Hot Club (which would become Johnny Hates Jazz.

Broke and homeless, Barry returned to Montreal when CBS Records, which had heard the Bram demos, paid for his plane ticket.

[17] He then started The Throbbing Purple[5][6] with Dawson, Unruled guitar player Michel "Wax" Cyr, and ex-Subhumans drummer David "Salty" Macanulty.
