Also known as The Payolas, this late 70's Vancouver, British Columbia based pub punk band was signed to Miles Copeland's IRS label and released their debut EP "Introducing" in 1980 and had the track Jukebox featured on the I.R.S Greatest Hits Vols. 2 & 3 dbl LP in 1981. Later efforts were less rambunctious, characterized by frontman Paul Hyde's moody vocals, as the group toned down their approach to a more aor sound, and moved over to mothership label A&M. In 1983, they won several Canadian Juno awards, after the release of the Mick Ronson produced album 'No Stranger To Danger".
