Ian Brown ( at the time the bassist ) and guitarist John Squire, who knew each other from Altrincham Grammar School for Boys, formed a short-lived Clash-inspired band called The Patrol in 1980 along with singer / guitarist Andy Couzens and drummer Simon Wolstencroft.

Squire continued to practice guitar while working as an animator for Cosgrove Hall during the day, while Brown ran a Northern soul night in a Salford club.

As Brown and Squire began collaborating more closely on songwriting, they decided that they should take a larger slice of the money than the other band members ; Couzens and Wren left the band in protest, although they soon returned, and Couzens played an ill-fated gig with the band at the end of May before being pushed out of the band by Evans after flying home alone while the rest of the band returned in their van.
