A band built around Bob Catley and Tony Clarkin, known for anthemic rock since the late '70s.
For a sense of their anthemic side, 'All England's Eyes' holds up. 'Dream About You' from their top songs list gives a later glimpse.
They've been a reliable fixture for listeners who like their rock with a bit of grandeur, not a flash-in-the-pan act. Songs like 'All England's Eyes' from 1986 became live staples, and their sound really clicked on albums like 'On a Storyteller's Night'. Over twenty studio albums later, they're still putting out work.
Formed in Birmingham in 1972, they toured for years before 'Kingdom of Madness' in 1978 gave them a break. The '80s saw them hit their stride with records like 'Chase the Dragon', and the lineup has shifted around Catley and Clarkin ever since.
