Cumbria's BITCHES SIN was blighted by an ever fluctuating line-up. First product would be a 1980 demo 'Twelve Pounds And No Kinks'. An early incarnation of the group featured the Toomey brothers, drummer Bill Knowles, vocalist Alan Cockburn and bassist Pez and the band contributed the track 'Down The Road' to the Neat 'Leadweight' compilation tape in 1981. That same year BITCHES SIN published the demo cassette 'Your Place Or Mine'. Both Cockburn and Pez would opt out to create GOLDSMITH for a 1982 single.

In its time, BITCHES SIN has featured the likes of vocalist Tony Tomkinson, bassist Martin Owen and former CHAINSAW drummer Mark Biddiscombe. By 1986 BITCHES SIN comprised vocalist Frank Quegan, guitarist Pete Toomey, bass player Mike Frazier and Bill Knowles on drums. However, in 1988 the Toomey brothers called a halt to proceedings and formed FLASH POINT, releasing a self financed album, 'No Point Of Reference'.

Biddiscombe later joined melodic Rock outfit TAPANZEE. Japanese Heavy Metal band GORGON would cover 'Ice Angels' for their 1996 'Gorgon' EP.
