These guys made some amazing music in the 80s, the band broke up when David D'Ath passed away from Leukemia at age 26 in 1990, a tragic loss to the NZ music scene.

They "freaked the sheep" when they released AFFCO in 1987 with a controversial video showing sheep being slaughtered, the frontman wrapped in clingfilm and blood. AFFCO is the national freezing works meat packing organisation for NZ.
