The band's debut single, "Boxerbeat", found success in Britain, peaking at number 3 in the UK Singles Chart. Their next hit "Just Got Lucky" also sold 250,000 copies and made the UK Top 10 and U.S. Top 40.
Subsequent singles, "Johnny Friendly" and "Jealous Love" did less well. JoBoxers' debut album, Like Gangbusters, reached the Top 20 of the UK Albums Chart.
The band released another single "Is This Really The First Time" and a second album Skin and Bone in 1985, but then split up, with McLusky joining Marche and Paul Wells in the indie-dance band called If? and Bostock joining Dave Stewart's post-Eurythmics group Dave Stewart & The Spiritual Cowboys.
"Just Got Lucky" was featured heavily in the films: The 40-Year-Old Virgin, starring Steve Carell and "Just My Luck" starring Lindsay Lohan.

I saw this once on Top Of The Pops about forty years ago as a small child and thought they were singing "lobotomy". So I had been looking for a song called "lobotomy" since then! It's only because I was listening to Absolute 80's on the radio at 4am this morning I finally found out what's it called.

That is worthy of being published in Viz magazine! Brilliant!

These guys were great live and extremely kind when I met them as a teen. Their tour manager gave me the shirt off his back, what a guy. The 80's were a great time to see bands and it was easy to meet them and every single one I met was very kind and friendly. Hope it's the same for kids today.

I've just seen this band for the second time - in 39 years ! Smart pop music with a punch, plus touches of jazz and rockabilly. A lot of fun.
