A short-lived indie/alt rock band from London. They released the Hunter 7” single and the Baby Oil Applicator 10” EP on Damaged Goods in 1993. The band were later spotted by Tony Wilson at Factory Too and he signed them up.

They released the album ‘English and French’ produced by Bernhard Butler and several singles (‘Wasted’, ‘Oh My Heartless’, ‘Bad Kid’ and ‘Ridiculous Day’) to critical acclaim but not to huge commercial success. Demos were recorded for a second Hopper album but the full version was never recorded.
