Career
The debut single "Time For Action" reached number 13 in the UK singles chart, putting them at the forefront of the Mod revival movement. More chart success followed with "Let Your Heart Dance", "My World" and "Sound Of Confusion", after which Shelton left the band (eventually joining Dexys Midnight Runners). He was replaced by Paul Bultitude.
After the band split up in 1982, after the two single releases from their final album Business As Usual failed to chart, Cairns went on to form a group called Flag with Archie Brown from The Bureau.
