In 2013 The Macintosh Gallery at The University of Western Ontario in London published “GRAPHIC UNDERGROUND: LONDON 1977-1990” by Brian Lambert. Paul was a major contributor to that music scene playing with the seminal punk band “THE SINNERS” & “SPIRAL SCRATCH”.

Stephen appears on the 2nd KINGSNAKES album “Loaded’n’Rollin'”and also engineered their 3rd album “Go All Night” as well as their aptly named unreleased 4th album “The Lost Years”.
