Signed to Capitol\/EMI during the new wave\/power pop boom of 1979 and 1980, this East Coast quintet fronted by vocalist Carl Worner, released their debut album Current Events<\/em> in 1980. Though the album showed that the band was stylistically diverse and creative, the album sold poorly. State of Shock<\/em>, their second album released in 1981, was a huge leap forward, yet didn’t garner the band many new fans or much radio play. After being dropped by EMI, the band split.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
