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. This four-piece is rooted in several corners of Rock music. 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.

Wolfsbane

Cult Tamworth, UK rockers. Before the release of their first album they were highly regarded live performers, but their first album saw little commercial success, oft-attributed to the very flat production. Their later albums saw more favourable press, with their live album Massive Noise Injection being well received. They split up when their singer Blaze Bayley left to join Iron Maiden in 1994.

Screeching and squealing out of England with all of the bombast and bravado of their heroes comes HeKz. From hi-octane rockers to long drawn out epics, they'll take you on a journey through all things musical and mythical without losing that much needed sense of fun. With 2 well received EPs (and a 3rd fresh off the press and currently making waves) and a wealth of gigging experience under their collective belt, the band continues to thrive and, in the words of a certain Mr Tony Iommi, "keeps the flag flying!"
