In 1976, Calgary, Alberta high-school friends Kinsella, Schenk and Macdonald formed punk band The Social Blemishes. By 1977 their line-up had solidified with Ahern and Edwards and they changed their name to the Hot Nasties.

In 1980, they released the 'Invasion of the Tribbles' EP on Kinsella's Social Blemish Records. This was followed by a full length cassette album entitled 'The Hot Nasties Tape'.

The band split up in 1981. Kinsella, ironically, became a lawyer for the Federal Liberal Party.

Following the Hot Nasties spotlight in Frank Manley's book 'Smash The State' (which included a 7" singles featuring the band's EP), Kinsella returned to music in 2005 by forming the band Shit From Hell. Their self-titled album featured cover versions of The Hot Nasties' songs "Barney Rubble (Is My Double)" and "Happy Song".
