Formed in Leeds by guitarist Gary Marx and vocalist Andrew Eldritch in 1980, they released FIRST AND LAST AND ALWAYS in March 1985 and is the culmination of five years of independent releases that saw them build up a large cult following.

Their first release with Warner (who they signed to in 1984), it reached number 14 the UK Album Charts by which time the band featured Wayne Hussey on guitar and Craig Adams on bass – both of whom would later leave the band to form The Mission.
