1982年在曼彻斯特由Jim Glennie，Tim Booth，Larry Gott和Gavan Whelan组成。 一年之后，签名给Anthony H. Wilson的工厂标签，然后被Sire Records Company抢购。 他们的民谣/独立音乐在他们成为大型排行榜之前就发现了早期的崇拜地位。 差不多，'坐下'没有达到。 2在英国单曲榜上，紧接着是一个没有。 2张专辑'Seven'。 乐队在2001年分手，几年之后重组。

Formed in Manchester in 1982 by Jim Glennie, Tim Booth, Larry Gott and Gavan Whelan. Signing, a year later, to Anthony H. Wilson's Factory label, before being snapped up by the Sire Records Company. Their folksy/indie sound found early cult status, before they became big chart toppers. Well almost, 'Sit Down' reached no. 2 in the UK singles charts, quickly followed by a no. 2 album, 'Seven'. The band split up in 2001, before re-forming some years later.
