Formed by Webber and Davis during the summer of 1977 when the soon-to-be band members started seeing bands at the Crash 'n' Burn club in Toronto. Alas, they really didn't know how to play and so enlisted help to get instruments and rudimentary lessons.

By the fall of 1977 they finally found a drummer in Trudell. They also added Brown on vocals.

In 1979 The Fits, with Paul Bonk now on vocals, went into Cottingham Sound with engineer Tom Atom and producer Evan Adelman and cut the three song EP "Bored of Education".

Eventually, the band mutated into a more post-punk sound that they dubbed The Wanderers. This band won a place on the 1981 Q107 Homegrown album Volume 3 with a song called "Do It Right"; Kent would go on to be in the Rockin' Alligators in the '90s and Clockwise in the 2000s.
