A great Scottish band that never really made it, released only two singles, and apparently broke up during the recording of their debut album in 1984.
The lead singer Paul Quinn continued solo recording collaborative singles with Edwyn Collins and Vince Clarke which barely touched the charts, before forming a new band The Independent Group, with former members of Orange Juice, Aztec Camera, The Commotions and Bluebells.
They releases two albums in 1992-1994.

I found this collection of their work called Brave Heart, and apart from a few tracks on the unreleased promo cassette for MCA, this is pretty much it:

01 Breaking point (demo)
02 Breaking point
03 Apres ski
04 Careless
05 Change of attitude
06 Breaking point (extended)
07 Apres ski (extended)
08 Careless (extended)
09 Change of attitude (extended)
10 Show me the door (live)
11 Little red rooster

This is a link posted on a blog that I found and I wanted to share it, because it seems to be the only one out there:
