Formed in 1980, the band initially consisted of John Stabb (vocals), Marc Alberstat (guitar), Tom Lyle (bass), and Brian Gay (drums).

Their discography includes: * Legless Bull (1981) * Make An Effort (1982) * You (1983) * Joy Ride (1984) * The Fun Just Stops (1986) * Borstal Breakout (1988) **Members and Collaborations:** Over the years, Government Issue underwent several lineup changes.
