Eater were an early British punk rock band from North London who took their name from a Marc Bolan lyric.
In October 2001, the band’s second single, "Thinking of the USA" (originally released in June 1977), was included in Mojo magazine's list of the best punk rock singles of all time. In 1999, the track also appeared on the five-CD Universal Records box set 1-2-3-4 Punk & New Wave 1976-1979.
Their sound has been characterized as "run-of-the-mill dole queue punk rock"and "basic boy-ish punk rock".

Due to a printing error, Dave Goodman's assistant Kim Thraves was misspelt as Thraives on this release.
"In November of '76 they were at Decibel Studios cutting their first single, 'Outside View' coupled with 'You' - with me at the helm [...] this first single 'Outside View' might only have had a white label on it when we sent it out in December '76." (Dave Goodman: My Amazing Adventures With The Sex Pistols, page 89-90.)
