They have at least 2 LP's, I have the one you have from 1980 and also "State of Shock" from 1981. Good power pop for sure.

I love them!

The 2nd album is more synth based, but is really cool.

They fall into my "Two Album Wonders" category (really good bands that only released 2 criminally overlooked albums):

The Elektrics
The Scooters
Hawks
Sinceros
SOrrows
4 Out
Spaz
The Jet Set
