The story of Zones is a tad complicated.
You need to go back to the early 70s, and the emergence of Slik, a band who enjoyed a #1 hit in February 1976 with Forever and Ever, a soft-rock effort very much of its era. The band consisted of Midge Ure, Kenny Hyslop, Jim McGinlay and Billy McIssac.
McGinlay would leave about a year later, to be replaced by Russell Webb. Slik failed to get any follow-up hits, did get one more minor hit afterwards (Requiem reached #24), but before 1977 was out, they had decided to re-invent themselves as PVC2, playing a blend of power-pop and punk. (PVC2 will feature in this series at some point in the future).
The new incarnation spit after one single, when Midge Ure was lured away to join Rich Kids, the band started up by Glan Matlock, the former Sex Pistol.
The three who had been left behind brought in Willie Gardner, a cousin of rock legend Alex Harvey, to replace Ure and renamed themselves as Zones.
The band got the attention of John Peel who gave regular spins to their debut single Stuck With You. This led to a deal with Arista Records and helped gain a support slot on a UK tour undertaken by Magazine.
Zones would release three singles and one album on Arista in 1978/9 before splitting up, albeit the members would move onto other things to varying degrees of success.
Here’s their third and what proved to be their final single for Arista:-
Do you think Midge Ure was looking on from the sidelines and taking copious notes that he would later refer to when Ultravox needed some new songs?
THE NEW VINYL VILLAIN 
I always thought that Requiem got into the Top 20 for Slik in late 1976 – I may be wrong.
I have said this many times, but once more won’t hurt… When it comes to my musical education, the soundtrack to the film That Summer! (on Arista) is the most important album in my collection. I bought it from a budget bin when I was 13 years old, and the songs there shaped what I would listen to for years. Before that album, it had been all American Top 40 radio for me. Suddenly, it’s Dury, Costello, Lowe, Only Ones, Undertones and, yes, Zones with “New Life.” These songs opened a whole new world to me. Thank you, Zones. – Brian
