The first big break came when (then) top radio 1 DJ Peter Powell gave the band their first (of many!) BBC radio session's plus he dicided to put the band on their first live TV appearance on his top viewed programme "The Oxford Roadshow".

The appearances were a huge success for the band, who were now commonplace names at such top London venues as The Marquee (Wardour St), Dingwalls etc, the band then won a top Birmingham band competition called "The Hottest Band in Town" run by magazine Brum Beat, soon after that the band inked their first proper record deal with FM/HM Records and the first album "Too Young" (recorded at UB40's DEP studio) was released again with great reviews from UK rock press.
