The band was formed in Rhyl, Wales in 1978 and was originally called Seventeen. The band was a mod/punk band, and after a tour with the Stray Cats in 1980, the band split. They played their last gig together under the new name of Alarm Alarm, but this would also be the last time this name was used. Lead singer Mike Peters (at the advice of legendary DJ John Peel, according to some stories) decided to change the name in 1981, supposedly because too many bands during the early 1980s had redundant names, such as The The and Duran Duran.

Peters and Twist had originally been in local punk band The Toilets, Sharp in Chuck Burial & The Embalmed and Macdonald in Amsterdam. All bands were short lived.

The band soon reformed under the new name of The Alarm, aiming to create songs using a new electro-acoustic sound. A new 'western military' image also began to materialise, inspired by the Stray Cats and a local punk called Scratch. The Alarm played their first ever gig at The Victoria Hotel, Prestatyn, North Wales on the 10th June 1981, opening with 'Shout to the Devil', which would later appear on the Declaration LP.

They moved from North Wales to London in September 1981. The band decided to try and record a one-off 7" single in an attempt to establish themselves with a wider audience. 1,000 copies of the single were pressed, featuring 'Unsafe Building' on the 'electric' side and 'Up For Murder' on the 'acoustic' side. The single was noticed by Mick Mercer, who featured it as his single of the month in his ZigZag magazine. The band played a show with The Fall in December 1981, where a journalist from Sounds noticed them. This journalist attended the band's next show, at Upstairs At Ronnie's in London's West End. Also at this show was a representative of Wasted Talent, who arranged a meeting between the band and Ian Wilson, U2's agent. Wilson arranged another show in order to assess the band's quality, was impressed, and became the band's manager soon after. To celebrate, The Alarm played with U2 at the Lyceum Ballroom on December 22.

In 1982, the band began to record demos for various record labels, but had little success. At this point, they were playing with three singing acoustic guitarists - this worked live, but didn't translate to record very well. The band were eventually offered a deal by IRS, forcing them to make a decision on who was to play which instruments. It was decided that Peters would concentrate on singing, with Sharp on guitar and Macdonald playing bass.

'Marching On' was released as a single in October 1982, and the band's sound started to become clear. On stage, they would almost always begin gigs acoustically, before finishing with electric guitars. Constant gigging in London helped the band build up a following, and in December 1982, they played four shows with U2. These shows were the first time that Bono ever joined The Alarm on stage.

A new song, 'The Stand' was recorded in Battersea in 1983, and was released in the UK as a single. The song's lyrics were inspired by Stephen King's novel of the same name. Outside the UK, the song was released as part of a five-track EP, title 'The Alarm'. The EP was released to coincide with The Alarm's first tour of the USA in June 1983, supporting U2 on the 'War' tour. Following the success of the sessions that produced 'The Stand', IRS picked up their recording option on the band, signalling the start of work on a full album. Another session with producer Mick Glossop was arranged to produce a new single, and it was agreed that 'Blaze of Glory' was to be recorded and released.

In June 1983, The Alarm embarked on their first tour of America, supporting U2 on the 'War' tour. The 18-date tour went a long way in establishing the band in the USA, whose sound was received favourably by the American audience and critics alike. 'The Stand' was quickly released by IRS to capitalise on this, supported by TV appearances on 'The Cutting Edge' and 'American Bandstand'.
