Initially fronted by Francis Dunnery, the band recorded three studio albums before splitting in 1990. The band eventually reformed in 2006 with new frontman John Mitchell replacing Dunnery, recording two further studio albums before going into hiatus circa 2014.
At present the band nominally consists of two separate line-ups: one featuring Mitchell plus original keyboard player John Beck and drummer Bob Dalton (which may or may not be active) and the "It Bites FD" lineup (featuring Dunnery leading a varied set of other musicians in an intermittent band, active since 2012).
