Operating out of Regina, Saskatchewan, between 1966-67 this band specialised in screaming punk singles which are now sought-after by some collectors. The 'A' sides of their first two 45 later resurfaced on Boulders, Vol. 3 and you'll find the 'A' side to the second on Nightmares From The Underworld, Vol. 1. Back in 1969 they had another song, So Much In Love With You, on the Strictly Canadian compilation. Their records also sold well enough to make the Canadian Charts, in a couple of cases too. Their final effort, Behind Ev'ry Man contains some vintage fuzzy guitar work and punchy vocals.
Later moved to Winnipeg.
