[Mr Bill]

Spizz would change the name of his band many times over the years... His next album for A&M would be by "The Spizzles." This album was yet another foray by A&M into the newly burgeoning punk and new wave genres. Spizz never gained notoriety beyond a strong cult following and an iconic song or two from the era -- mainly "Clocks Are Big" (featured on this album) and "Where's Captain Kirk?" which appear in the cult punk/new wave concert film Urgh! A Music War.
