The original members who started the MODS were Ron Dyer and Jerry Matheson.  Dan Yard joined the group shortly after, followed by Des Bosa, and John Murray, who was the lead guitar player for William Tell Overture, was the last to join.

The MODS got a recording contract in LA, and they changed their name and recorded as the UNFORSCENE.  Their single “These Are the Words” made it to #1 on the Canadian charts. This Canadian band had a British flavor with a lot of concentration on full Harmony.
