Pointed Sticks signed with Stiff Records, recorded in London, returned to Canada, and released Perfect Youth. The band ended its first run in 1981 and reunited in 2006, later returning to recording and international touring. Its collision-reviewed principal Spotify catalog in Canada contains five album and single containers from March 27, 2006 through February 26, 2024: four albums and one two-track single. Representative releases include Perfect Youth, Three Lefts Make a Right, Pointed Sticks, and Beautiful Future. Current booking records identify the original lineup, Vancouver identity, Northern Electric representation, and international touring, while a March 2025 British Columbia event record confirms continuing live activity.
