Dealer

There are two bands with this name; 1) Dealer, formed in Cirencester (UK) in 1979, was a NWOBHM band. 2) DEALER, founded in 1999, made their way through deserts, over mountains and through deep valleys, with a heart for Rock'n Roll and a six-string to state it.

Finally the guys find themselves rockin' out like the Rolling Stones in fury, Deep Purple in anger and a bunch of Austrian shepherds on magic mushrooms.
