Their music is a blend of hardcore punk, Oi!, heavy metal, football chants and shock rock. Many of their songs criticize religion or discuss political or philosophical topics. Their first single, "Megalomania", ridiculed the Pope. Doctor Wild Thing played drums on 'Megalomania'. Their second single release "Stark Raving Normal" (a double A side with Mesrine) criticized one-dimensional patriotism, apathy and mediocrity. The Cardinal calls himself a punk secular humanist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Featured Content on Myspace )〕 Their first album, ''False Gestures for a Devious Public featuring Evo (ex Angelic Upstarts,Warfare & Major Accident)on drums'' (1983), hit the UK top 30 and was voted one of the year’s best releases by Sounds magazine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=zeromag.com )〕〔(www.garry-bushell.co.uk - Oi! – The Truth by Garry Bushell )〕 They used to be managed by Garry Bushell, and their song "Such Fun" was on the Oi! compilation album ''Oi!
