Duo pionero del acid jazz, formado en 1983 por Paul Weller (ex lider de The Jam) y Mick Talbot (procedente de Merton Parkas). En 1984 entró en la banda el bateria Steve White y posteriormente se incorporo a la banda la cantante Dee C. Lee, colaboradora de Wham! y por entonces esposa de Weller.
Su mayor exito es el album Our Favourite Shop de 1985, donde bajo una superficie de ritmos jazzy, pop al estilo Burt Bacharach y bossa nova se esconden dirísimas críticas a Margaret Thacher, a la sazón primera ministra británica.

AC#m The Pub talk, the scandals F#mBmBm7DG Like vandals they try to tear you down. AC#m The whispers turn rumours F#mBmBm7DG There's no truth but that don't stop those cats.
AC#m They need that little bit extra F#mBmBm7DG They don't mind if it's only conjecture.
DE They tried to tell me I wasn't I full time DE I tried to think of an alibi Bm7D I felt so awful I spat in their faces E And ran for my life

AC#m They need that little bit extra F#mBmBm7DG They don't mind if it's only conjecture.
DE They tried to tell me theirs was the right way DE I tried shout that that was a lie Bm7D I felt so sick I spat on their life styles E With a run away pride!
AC#m Untouched by human hands F#mBmBm7DG 'Cause only God knows I don't call that a man AC#m Who spends his waking days F#mBmBm7DG Telling others what to think and what to say
DE They tried to tell me I wasn't normal DE I tried to say there's no such thing Bm7D I felt so awful I spat in their faces E With a run away pride!
