Jameson Raid

I remember seeing jameson Raid many times at "The Greyhound" in Chadwell Heath, Essex on a Thurdsay night. Don't remember too much about them but they must have been good as I kept going back :) the only song I can remember is "It's a crime" - accompanied by sirens and blue flashing lights. ************************** Jameson Raid (1976 to 1982) were a fantastic live band playing really original Hard Rock music. They were later associated with the NWOBHM movement and produced one of the very best tracks from this era 'Seven Days Of Splendour'.

Egypt

There are two bands listed using this name. 1. Egypt (UK) The Early Years.
Egypt's original line up first got together in a squat in Shepherds Bush, London in late 1987, but the story really begins a few weeks before when bass player Alan Fish and our first drummer Peter Chichon met at an audition for another band which included Don Greer (ex-Bachman Turner Overdrive and others). Don would later fill in for a broken-thumbed Eric Chipulina whilst Egypt were in the US for a short while in the early 90s.

Glasgow

Sam and Jack Craft, the founding members and core of the band Glasgow, are no strangers to the local spotlight, despite their young age. Classically trained string players (violin and cello), they were longtime members of the backing band of Theresa Andersson, are current members of and tour nationally with the Susan Cowsill Band, are featured prominently on countless recordings, including those of such luminaries as Eddie Bo, Better Than Ezra, Edwin McCain, Dash Rip Rock and others, and have appeared on stage with Irma Thomas, Cowboy Mouth, and more.

Frenzy

Frenzy are a 3 piece band, formed in the August of 1983, during the successful revival of the Rock-a-Billy music scene around that time. Steve Whitehouse, the founder member of the group, had already found success with his previous two outifts, most notably ' The Sharks ', another 3 piece Rock-a-Billy band who had released an album and various other ditties since their formation in 1981. Indeed, Steve has been actively involved in music since 1980. Sighting musical differences, Steve left The Sharks to pursue his destiny with Frenzy.

Bitches Sin

Bitches Sin were a legendary heavy metal band, based in the north of England, and formed around 1980. After several changes, the definitive line-up of Ian Toomey, Pete Toomey, Frank Quegan, Billy Knowles and Mike Frazer, came together and produced some of the most influential heavy metal music of the 80's. This culminated in the cult classic, 'Invaders' album, released in 1986, which received rave reviews from Aardshock's Readers Poll, amongst many others. Invaders was essential listening for skate boarders across the USA. Often quoted 'skate or die'.

Slander

Slander was formed in 1990, following a last minute request from the Blackpool Gazette to make up the numbers for a local Rock Battle. Andy Saxon - Lamb and Steve Slater were given 24 hours notice to recruit musicians and rehearse their set. After rehearsing through most of the previous night, they hammered out a thirty minute set to an unsuspecting crowd. From the positive audience reaction it was clear that their brand of heavy metal was a winning formula. In late 1990 Slander’s "Fighting Talk" appeared on Radio 1’s Friday Rock Show’s "Rock Wars".

Battleaxe

And so it was that from the ashes of the Warrior there was formed a mighty Battleaxe… So runs the ancient legend.
Sometimes legends can be true. Sometimes legends can be modern. From the ashes of a band called Warrior there came Battleaxe. Back in the early 1980s in the north-east of England four young men joined forces to embark on a heroic quest – to be one of the best heavy metal bands around.
