I believe these guys were from France,but I can't be 100% about that.What did these guys sound like and were they any good? I take it that none of their albums are that easy to find?

Our Friend Ollie is close to being an authoritative, walking encyclopedia on all things punk and new wave (either that or he memorized all four trouser press books!).

Nah, just been a record geek for 20+ years! I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, but the complete Sean Purcell vinyl output I can rattle off from the top of my head.

Sean Purcell was the singr of The Raped/Cuddly Toys. He died of some bra
