Kev, Tony and Scooby go way back to the early eighties when they formed a band called "The Express" playing music influenced by "The Jam".

Even then people would remark about Tony's uncanny resemblance to Mr Weller and undoubtedly this had an effect on the direction of the band and its music; in fact the band actually wrote to Paul Weller enclosing a demo tape and received a personal hand written reply from the man himself.
