The theatre of Hate best known song is 'Do you beleieve in the westworld'. The Theatre of hate sort of splintered but was responsible for the spear of destiny but also for the cult. Kirk Brandon and Billy Duffy respsectively. Also worth noting is Blancmange, this was before their hits and when they were receiving heavy airplay from Peel(gods kitchen era). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX_6K1xGApY
