The band made their radio debut on the John Peel show on January 23, 1978.The following day they recorded Deutscher Girls and Plastic Surgery for the Jubilee soundtrack.The band struggled to find success or even a record deal until 1978 when they were signed to Decca and released their first single "Young Parisians" to confused reviews and little success.Lester Square left the band to form The Monochrome Set.It would be this lineup that recorded their debut album.Lyrically it attempted to address subjects such as fetishism, historical figures like Adolf Hitler, John F.It gained a cult following, rather than commercial success, leading a frustrated Adam to hire Malcolm McLaren (manager of the Sex Pistols) in the hope of more widespread recognition.In January 1980, McLaren convinced the rest of the band, then comprising guitarist Matthew Ashman, bassist Leigh Gorman and drummer Dave Barbarossa to leave the Ants and form Bow Wow Wow, fronted by Annabella Lwin.The band signed a major label deal with CBS Records and began recording Kings of the Wild Frontier.That album was an enormous hit in the United Kingdom and put the band at the forefront of the New Romantic movement.Australia for five weeks.Ants released another highly successful album, Prince Charming."Prince Charming", which topped the UK charts, for 4 weeks in September 1981.Lavish videos were produced for the Prince Charming singles, including "Stand and Deliver", "Prince Charming", and "Ant Rap".Breakup
