It was backed with the raver "Our Love Should Last Forever", featuring Tom Ference's slamming drum beats and John Langdon's piercing guitar work. Their next 45 went straight...

Riffing off of the secret agent craze of the times, their most known tune was composed by Artie Resnick, Ronnie Dante, and Kristin Resnick. In it, the band members divulge their undercover mission...
