The band then toured, releasing several tapes, including "The Ember", "Cellar Replay" and the live "Warts n' All". In 1984 the band released its first full-length offering titled "C'est La Vie". The band released its albums on its own label Gabadon Records. The band would remain stable for the next five years until its demise in 1988. The band spent years going through several lineup changes and small gigs, until 1983 when drummer Paul Chisnell joined the band.
