Originally from Leyton an area in the East End Of London the Leyton Buzzards released their first single '19 & Mad' in 1978. They then entered and won a competition sponsored by the Sun Newspaper and Radio One to get a contract with Chrysalis Records. Their debut single reached no.53 on the charts in February 1979 and they even made in onto Top Of The Pops. Afterwards they changed their name dropping the Leyton part but they never made an actual album as Chrysalis released 'Jellied Eels To Record Deals'a compilation of singles and sessions. They did manage to record four John Peel Sessions. Nevertheless this track lyrically is classic snotty London punk with a reggae feel.
