The band started in 2001, with Brandon and Peters being joined by Pete Wylie (Wah!) and Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols) for the first live album. For the second album, Wylie was replaced by Billy Duffy (The Cult) and a drummer was added in Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats). For the third album, Duffy was replaced by Bruce Watson (Big Country). The fourth and fifth albums, Watson dropped out and Matlock was replaced by Captain Sensible (The Damned) on bass.
The Peters/Brandon/Sensible/Phantom line-up recorded an original album in 2008, but it was never released as there were disagreements between the band members.
Eventually Peters revived the band in 2014 with Chris Cheney (The Living End) replacing Brandon. This line-up produced the first album of original material by the band, Easy Piracy, the previous releases having all been live albums.
Brandon also formed a new version of the band, with Jake Burns (Stiff Little Fingers) and Dave Ruffy and John "Segs" Jennings (both of Ruts DC). After a name dispute, Brandon kept the name and Peters renamed his band as the Jack Tars.
