The Word were a punk band from Canberra who started in 1978. In 1980 they somehow got to record this single in Sydney. It was released on Festival subsidiary Infinity, continuing that label's flirtation with powerpop while they sat on money made from Sherbet. Festival house producer Martin Erdman sat behind the desk. The Word ended up living in Bondi Beach and played regularly around Sydney traps in 1980 such as The Metropole Tavern and the Astra Hotel. After they disbanded guitarist Michael Moriarty ended up in the Gadflys.
