They run in the same orbit as Firehose, Mission of Burma, Fugazi, Wire and Circle Jerks, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Pixies, Ramones, Television Personalities, Buzzcocks and The Weirdness, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
