Information About

The Sports




Based in Melbourne , Victoria , the group signed to the Mushroom Records label and released a number of successful singles and albums. Their sound fit well with both 1970s British Pub Rock bands (such as Brinsley Schwarz ) and British New Wave (such as Elvis Costello ). Their best known songs include ''Boys (What Did The Detective Say?)'', ''Don't Throw Stones'', ''Every Time You Walk In The Room'', ''How Come'', ''Who Listens To The Radio?'', ''Perhaps'' and ''Strangers on a Train''.

The group broke up in 1981 with lead singer Stephen Cummings going on a successful solo singing career. Guitarist Martin Armiger became a successful composer for film and TV.
