[2] The group were part of the first post-punk wave to emerge out of New Zealand in the early 1980s, and the influential Dunedin sound associated with Flying Nun.
[1] The "Ambivalence" 7" was released in September as the first single on newly formed Flying Nun Records,[4] a week before The Clean's "Tally Ho!".
After the release of the two singles, the group discussed expanding their sound, recruiting Mary Heney on guitar and backup vocals from fellow Christchurch band 25 Cents, and Peter Fryer on viola.
In 1992, the band re-united to record a 7" single on Siltbreeze named 11 Years After, featuring a new version of "Coat" and their often-performed cover of "Hurricane Fighter Plane" by Red Krayola.
[2] In 1997, Siltbreeze issued a compilation album titled The Pin Group, featuring the band's three singles, the Go To Town EP, and a live cover of "Low Rider" by War.
In 2011, Flying Nun re-issued the band's discography in a remastered album titled Ambivalence, including a full live performance at the Gladstone Hotel from July 1981.
