Something of a sequel to/ripoff of Mick Jones' Big Audio Dynamite, The Chiefs Of Relief were three punk-era veterans and a newcomer looking for a similar rock and dance hybrid. The core of the group was guitarist Matthew Ashman (of the original post-punk lineup of Adam & The Ants, the one that got swiped by Malcolm Mclaren and turned into Bow Wow Wow) and drummer Paul Cook (formerly of The Sex Pistols and The Professionals), with keyboardist Duncan Grieg (of the minor '70s punk outfit Martian Dance) and bassist Lance Burman.
