British 1980s band led by Tony James, mixing glam, punk and synth-pop with a heavily stylized, marketing-driven image. Best known for the 1986 debut album Flaunt It and the single "Love Missile F1-11."

Founded by Tony James (formerly of Generation X). Key members mentioned in reviews include Neal X (guitar) and Martin Degville (vocals). Debut album Flaunt It released in 1986; Giorgio Moroder was involved in production. The band used advertising, samples and a deliberately provocative image as part of their concept. They disbanded in 1987 and had a reunion/European tour in the early 2000s (as reported in reviews).

 fake commercials between songs, randomly inserted samples of famous operatic arias, Barbarellas, laser swords, inflatable puppets resembling Ronald Reagan popping out everywhere.

 Their style remains alive, their exaggerated and overflowing aesthetics (almost a manifesto of the '80s), their noisy and smoky sounds, made-up eyes and studs, and a sober memory of music and a look that today leave a veil of melancholic sympathy and a smile.
