The Mods were comprised of Greg Trinier (vocals), Scott Marks (guitar), Mark Dixon (bass) and David Quinton (drums). They were one of Toronto's leading power-pop punk bands of the late 70's. Aside from being a regular headliner at clubs like “The Horseshoe” and “The Edge”, they also opened for ‘The Police', ‘Ultravox', ‘Squeeze' and ‘The Specials' at larger venues.

The Mods enjoyed a lot of local media support in the press and on radio and, throughout 1978 and ‘79, they played throughout Canada and toured the east coast and mid-western United States (sometimes with ‘Teenage Head' from Hamilton).

The Mods released one single in 1978 ("Step Out Tonight" b/w "You Use Me") and during that same year appeared in Colin Brunton's movie “The Last Pogo” – a filmed document of the Toronto punk scene.

Although the band recorded a full-length album in 1979, the release became mired in a haze of failed expectations and legal difficulties involving a major record label. The Mods' final show was at “The Music Hall” in Toronto and simulcast live on CFNY-FM.

Their 1979 album was finally released, together with an assortment of demos and live tracks, in 1995 on a CD entitled “Twenty 2 Months”.

All of the original members of The Mods recently reunited on November 26, 2006 for their first appearance in 26 years.
