Heavy blues based rock

Line up: Edgar Broughton (vocals, guitar), Victor Unitt (guitar), Arthur Grant (bass), Steve Broughton (drums).

Warwick based band, both Broughtons were ex-Tony And The Talons and Original Roadrunners R&B/Blues outfits. This band was formed around 1967 and they based themselves in London in 1968, although retained strong links with Warwick. Unitt left before they signed with Blackhill Enterprises and recorded for Harvest.

They were frequently to be found at festivals throughout the late '60's and early '70's, famously playing through the streets of Warwick on the back of a flatbed truck, when Warwick District Council wouldn't let them play in the park.

 Known for their 'Out Demons Out' chant, which they appropriated from The Fugs, the definitive version of which can be found on the Glastonbury Fayre album.
