A London band that mixed heavy rock with progressive elements, anchored by guitarist Mick Box since 1969.
For their sound, start with 'Lady in Black' and 'Easy livin''. Those two give you the heavy rock side and the more melodic, progressive feel they worked with.
They carved out a space between hard rock and prog with songs like 'Easy livin'' and 'The Wizard' from their early 1970s albums. 'Lady in Black' from the 1971 album 'Salisbury' became their most recognizable track. While sometimes compared to bands like Deep Purple, they maintained their own steady output and touring identity.
Formed in London in 1969, they released their debut 'Very 'eavy. Very 'umble' the following year. They put out several albums in quick succession during the early 1970s, including 'Look at Yourself' and 'Demons and Wizards'. The lineup has changed many times over the decades, with guitarist Mick Box as the constant member.
