After a jam session in Hoye's school hall, they decided to form a band and Evil Ways was reborn.
After gigging around local pubs they decided that they needed a singer/frontman, and recruited Dubliner David Hall.
Their first single was going to be "Without Love", written by Dave Hall, with "Rocka Rolla" (the Judas Priest song) as the B-side.
Soon after, Hoye left the band in 1977 and was replaced by Alan Levett (an old school friend of Tyler's).
[2] Urchin carried on and recruited guitarist Andy Barnett, later a member of Visage and FM, and later keyboard player Richard (Dick) Young.
[3] On 19 December 1985 Smith organised a reunion of his mates and performed the live recording The Entire Population of Hackney at the Marquee Club in London along with Nicko McBrain.
