A Scarborough-Guildford-Glasgow combo, The Jags marked their signing to Island Records in 1979 with a four-track debut 12” EP ("Back of My Hand" / "Double Visions" / "Single Visions" / "What Can I Do?").[4] "Back of My Hand" was described as "simply one of the best records Elvis Costello didn't write".[5] The song was included on the band's debut album Evening Standards, which was released the following year.[4]
Starting out in 1978 playing London pubs and college gigs, by 1979 The Jags' sound had moved to jangly power-pop.[4]
