The band scored a string of hit singles, and are best known for their 1985 hit "Don't You", from the soundtrack of the John Hughes film The Breakfast Club. Their other more prominent hits include "Alive and Kicking" and "Belfast Child". In 1986, the band was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group.
