Releases

It has recently been re-released by Anagram Records with extra tracks. They had two singles, "Questions"/"No Faith", released in 1977 and "I Hate School"/"Young Power", in 1978. None of their releases were hits.

They also appeared on the hit "Hope & Anchor Front Row Festival" double compilation LP (March 1978).

Live shows

Suburban Studs' fame results from their huge gigging schedule. They played the notorious 100 Club gig in 1976 supporting the Sex Pistols and The Clash and even headlined above The Clash in Birmingham in the same year.

The band also toured with AC/DC, played a Peel Session and appeared on an ATV punk special.

Saxophonist Steve Heart later went on to form the Neon Hearts, who were to become very popular around the Midlands.
