Why they might be annoying:

    Their band name was redundant as a cat can't fly.
    They initially were known as 'Scamp', before being forced to change it when an American band with the same name released an album.
    Their initial beginning was when a member of the school board decided to create a band for a high school talent show.
    They were a one hit wonder as 'Flipping to the 'A' Side' was their only song to make the music charts.
    They were dropped from CBS Records after their debut album.
    They disbanded after they failed to catch on with another record label.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They initially were a high school band.
    They got mainstream exposure after winning a nationwide talent show.
    Peter voluntarily switched to keyboards after David joined the group.
    They earned a Juno Award nomination for Most Promising Group (1986).
    Eddie became a hair stylist and opened his own salon in the years following the group's dissolution.
