Kim Salmon had formed a proto-punk band, the Cheap Nasties, in August 1976. He left in December 1977 and the remainder, with Robbie Porritt joining as lead vocalist, continued as the Manikins. Salmon replaced Mark Demetrius in the Exterminators, who then became known as the Invaders. The lineup included Roddy Radalj guitar, vocals , Boris Sujdovic bass and John Rowlings drums . The Invaders became the Scientists in May 1978, when James Baker from the Victims replaced Rowlings. Sujdovic left the band in August 1978 later recording with the Rockets . The songwriting partnership that ensued, with Baker writing lyrics which Salmon would put to music, naturally favoured a melodic, pop-infused style of punk.The band started playing again in January 1979 with Dennis Byrne on bass. This lineup recorded the band s first single, Frantic Romantic / Shake Together Tonight , released in June 1979 on the D.N.A. Records label.
