Punk - Powerpop Band.

Started as such in Copenhagen, Denmark in the late 70's. When Jo Broadbery moved to London he took the Bandname with him, leaving the others to continue as The Operators.
They played live, recorded two singles in 1979 and one LP in 1980 before breaking up due being dropped by Virgin.
Jo Broadbery re-released the LP as Jo Broadbery & The Standouts and recorded one more album with a different line-up.
