Spy vs Spy (Australian band) recordings were released under the name Spy vs Spy, but the band was forced to change its name to v. Spy v. Spy to avoid legal action from the publishers of "Mad" magazine, which included the comic strip "Spy vs. Spy". Their music became more straight forward hard rock for their pub audiences. The band became prominent on the Sydney pub rock scene, performing politically charged songs dealing with issues such as racism, drugs and the homeless. Shortly after the release of their debut EP, in early 1983, the band broke up. Bloxom briefly joined The Numbers in March 1983
