 They are remembered mostly for a quirky vocal style and for a curious campaign "Smirks against Travolta", simultaneously a homage and a parody of "Rock Against Racism".The Smirks session for the John Peel show was recorded on 19 April 1978 and broadcast a week later.Despite being more of the new wave/power pop genre, they did support Killing Joke and Joy Division at the ULU gig in London, 1980.
