Steve Grimm :

" ...Hi, Originally band was called Revels but someone in Chicago had it, so whilst in the studio”Chess Records”, we came up w Trafalget Sq. Later we went onto Crossfire but same thing happened. This Bad Boy was born. I am the only one still playing and singing. After 50 yrs, my wife thinks I am nuts. Bad Boy plans to release a new CD this year ...  BTW, it was on USA RECORDS ... "
