The band's key releases include various Factory and Factory Benelux singles such as 'Unsightly and Serene' and 'Live on a Hot August Night' and the album 'The Plateaux Phase'.

Hempsall famously stood in for Ian Curtis at a Joy Division show at the Derby Hall in Bury in 1980 after the singer suffered an epileptic fit - a riot ensued.
