Direct Hits were a trio from South London that were comprised of drummer Brian Grover, bassist/vocalist Colin Swan and Geno Buckmaster on guitar and vocals. The latter two had been in new wave/power pop band The Exits, who got as far as issuing a single on Lightning Records called The Fashion Plague in 1978. In 1980 The Exits folded and Swan and Buckmaster formed this next venture with a couple of percussionists who didn’t last long on the Direct Hits drum stool, until Grover got the job long term in 1981. Modesty Blaise was the band's first official single released on Whaam! Records (WHAAM 007) released in 1982.
