Managed by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorge Radford Sr.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the band developed a distinctive image, using powerful Vox equipment. Their first release, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcid Head\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, became controversial when radio stations misunderstood its anti-drug message and banned it -- giving the young band unexpected notoriety.
