In her youth Holly Beth Vincent played drums, guitar and sang in several bands and took part in the Los Angeles punk scene. In 1978, she formed Holly and the Italians and moved to London, where the band was welcomed by the British press and gained a recording contract with Virgin Records on the strength of the single "Tell That Girl to Shut Up".(Chappel Of Love is th B-Side). Holly and the Italians' debut album The Right to Be Italian had a troubled and long production and was a commercial failure, which led to the band's dissolution at the end of 1980, after a US tour supporting The Clash and the Ramones.
