The alternative pop/rock group the Dishrags formed around 1977 and held ground until a new decade arrived. The group consisted of singers and guitarists Jade Blade and Sue MacGillivray, as well as bassist and singer Dale Powers. Other members included a drummer by the name of Scout and singer and bassist Kim Henriksen. Most of the bandmates helped out with the songwriting duties. The Dishrags completed three albums while in existence.

The group's debut album, Past Is Past, appeared in 1979. It was followed a year later by Death in the Family. A third album, Love/Hate, hit the market nearly 20 years later, not being released until 1997. The last offering was a mixture of studio recorded numbers and live tunes done by the Dishrags between 1977 and 1980. A few of the 25 tracks from this late arrival are I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You, High Society Snob, You Fit the Picture, I Don't Love You, Nowhere to Hide, and Tormented. ~ Charlotte Dillon, Rovi
