VERBAL Warning’s early eighties incarnation built themselves an uncompromising reputation in the Nottingham area and played with some of the big bands of the day.
Chumbawumba, Conflict, Flux of Pink Indians, Rudimentary Peni, Napalm Death and The Subhumans all shared bills with the original Warning.
Paul, switching to bass, decided to resurrect the band in 2005 and, after using the modern technology of the Internet to find Ian on drums and Lee on guitar, soon it was decided a singer was needed and an old mate of Paul's, John was bought in on vocals.

Spearmint is a London-based indie pop band, founded in 1995 from the ashes of a project called 'Laverne and Shirlie'. Their sound can be said to be classic British guitar pop, with some northern soul influences. The founding members were Shirley Lee (lead vocals, guitar), Simon Calnan (vocals, keyboards), Martin Talbot (bass) and Ronan Larvor (drums). Talbot left soon afterward, to be replaced by James Parsons.
