Big in Japan was a punk band that emerged from Liverpool, England in the late 1970s. They are better known for the later successes of their band members than for their own music. According to the Liverpool Echo, Big in Japan were "a supergroup with a difference -its members only became super after they left". The ID was one of the bands Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys played with before becoming OMD.  

Modern Eon formed in Liverpool, in 1981, they released an album and four singles before disbanding. Their biggest hit is "Euthenics". After their demise founder of the band Alix Plain was renamed Che for a 1983 album, Cliff Hewitt joined Virgin Dance and then collaborated with Apollo 440, Joe McKechnie joined The Passage and then Benny Profane and Tim Lever joined Dead Or Alive and then formed One World Productions along with Mike Percy

The band had only one official release in 1979, the 7" single called 'Shellshocked'

The Accelerators was a punk band active around 1977-1981, that only relesed one EP; The Moderates edited three EPs between 1980 and 1981, and Echo & The Bunnymen were formed in Liverpool in 1978, the original lineup was Ian McCulloch (vocals), Will Sergeant (guitar), Les Pattinson (bass) and soon replacing a drum machine Pete De Freitas (drums).
