It could be argued that the Gambit of Shame were ahead of their time when comparisons are made with today's music scene. Unfortunately they only really existed on the underground & fringe of the mainstream music scene whilst together from 1981 until their demise, in the apt year of 1984.

They had Numerous line-ups throughout but possibly the bands pivotal moment was around the release of their single 'No Bounds', which was produced by ex-Soft Machine member, Robert Wyatt.
