Många av texterna är öppet politiska, som bland annat "Her Fifteen Years" (om Margaret Thatcher) och "As Good As It Gets". Matt James och Steve Mason bildade efter Genes uppbrott bandet . Martin Rossiter jobbar numera som sånglärare i Brighton, samtidigt som han spelar in en soloskiva. Kevin Miles jobbar som musiklärare i Nottingham, och spelar i ett coverband. (sv)
