While in their late teens, Blackpool's the Pose formed to do spunk covers. Chris Anderton (guitars), Tony Ashworth (drums), Chris Shea (vocals), and Paul Swindles (bass) met each other in shoal and started playacting gigs with a clutch of Buzzcocks and Clash songs in their repertoire. Within a yr, they started piece of writing their own material and distinct to variety their identify to Tunnelvision.
Later on piece of writing a few songs, Shea exited, leaving Anderton to take over on vocals. Eventually enlisting Andrew Leeming to take over on guitar, a gig with their friends, Section 25, in September of 1980 impressed Factory bigwigs Rob Gretton and Tony Wilson. Agreeing to release a single on their pronounce, the banding sic near transcription a four-song demonstration before cut their official debut freeing. (Just now after recording it, Swindles left wing for a proper caper. He was replaced by Ian Butterworth.) Infamous producer and Factory fellow Martin Hannett remixed deuce of the demo's songs, which became Tunnelvision's solitary single, Watching the Hydroplanes. As with to the highest degree post-Joy Division records issued in the early '80s by Factory, the single was barf off as beingness mediocre Joy Division.
Yet another four-song demonstration was recorded earlier Leeming departed. Drummer Ashworth ditched his tympan kit for a guitar, and the troika continued playing live dates with a drum political machine. Opting to attempt things out with some other live drummer, the band called it quits later on one rehearsal as a quartet. Former members splintered off into other ephemeral bands, including Vee VV (Anderton, Butterworth) and Cat Noise (Shea, Swindles). In 1998, Les Temps Modernes released Guessing the Way, a digest of the band's single, deuce demos, and live material.
