Indie/DIY band formed in Dundee, Scotland and existed during the period 1979-1981.

Members were: Smeg Pole (Craig Methven) - vocals, Sid Gripple (Steve Grimmond) - bass, vocals, Stripey Sleep (Colin Smith) - guitar, and Burt Spurt (Glen Connell) - drums.

Tape release (100 only) "Auchmithie Calling" reviewed in Sounds 1979 and only other subsequent release, "Revelation" (ep, One Tone, 1980) became cult favourite. Only 700 published, with sleeves allegedly put together with tape and glue in singer's kitchen.

One posthumous release, "Auchmithie Forever" (2009) a compilation of early recordings.
