Hynde continued with the band.

During July 1982, just weeks after Honeyman-Scott's death, a caretaker team of Hynde, Chambers, Rockpile guitarist Billy Bremner and Big Country bassist Tony Butler was assembled to record the single " Back on the Chain Gang ".

The song was released in October, becoming their biggest success in the US, staying at No. 5 for three consecutive weeks.

The single's B-side, " My City Was Gone " is now the theme music for The Rush Limbaugh Show.
