T.V.Smith rose to prominence in the first wave of British punk rock as singer and songwriter for the Adverts who, after frequent early appearances at the seminal Roxy club in London in 1977, gained cult success with the Stiff single "One Chord Wonders." This turned to notoriety when their next single, "Gary Gilmore's Eyes" thrust them into the upper reaches of the U.K. charts. The album that followed in 1978, "Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts" charted on its first week of release, and is generally considered to be one of the few genuine classics of the era.

In 1978, The Avengers opened for the Sex Pistols at the Pistols' last public performance at the Winterland Ballroom. This opening gig gave the Avengers a higher profile, and the Sex Pistols/Avengers connection continued after that with Steve Jones producing the Avengers' second single. The Avengers also went on to headline dates with the Go-Go's, X and the Dead Kennedys.
