Nick Watkinson and John Alder started writing songs together in early 1977. By the summer of the following year they had put a band together and quickly landed a recording contract with Island. Their first record, "Back Of My Hand," did well on the charts, but this single, their follow-up, unfortunately failed to garner the same interest. However, both songs are terrific power pop and "Dumb Blonde" later made it's way onto a Powerpearls compilation.
