LITTLE ANGELS was a band poised to break big, armed with a neat line in melodic songs, a keenly projected image and fortuitous timing. Although the band soon elevated themselves to major status in their homeland, even scoring a number 1 album with 'Jam', the rest of the world remained resolutely aloof. Although LITTLE ANGELS undoubtedly benefited from a sustained and quite huge marketing campaign, the sheer cost of such an enterprise would ultimately prove their undoing.

Starting out life in Scarborough, first as ZEUS then as MR. THRUD with original drummer Gary Simpson, a change of name was suggested by their label boss and manager Kevin Nixon. The newly named act debuted in London as support to TESLA at the Marquee club and received good reviews from the press.
