The Riot Squad were a London-based band, put together in 1965 by Larry Page who assembled them from two lesser groups and also produced their early records. The group came to national attention with an appearance in the popular TV programme "Z-Cars".

They were a good band, but were bedevilled by a constantly changing line-up which did not help them to achieve the required breakthrough. Bonney went on to have a solo hit with "Supergirl" (1966). Mitchell left to join Georgie Fame's Blue Flames before moving on to the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Of their singles, "Gotta Be A First Time" (1967), one of the last songs to be produced by the legendary Joe Meek, was the closest they got to a hit, attracting considerable airplay without quite making the charts.
