Cobby and Lister were founders of both Steel Tiger Records and Twentythree Records. J*S*T*A*R*S's track "Loose Nuke Threat" from Put Me on a Planet featured in television/cinema advertisements for the John Lewis Partnership spring campaigns for 2004 and 2005.

"Loose Nuke Threat" also featured in the 2012 Fiat Panda TV advertising campaign. Eagle-i Music set up this synchronisation.
