Debut album from 1980 by this legendary British Hard Rock band, widely regarded as one of the key releases of the first wave of the NWOBHM movement. Released when the band members were barely out of their teens, it already displayed remarkable ambition and laid the foundation for the extraordinary career that would follow.
Its sound blends the energy of late-'70s British Heavy Metal with influences from THIN LIZZY, UFO and classic Hard Rock, featuring twin-guitar harmonies, strong melodies and surprisingly mature songwriting. Tracks such as "Rock Brigade", "Wasted" and "Hello America" already hinted at the enormous potential of a band that would soon become one of the biggest names in Rock history.
Recommended for fans of: SAXON, UFO, THIN LIZZY and PRAYING MANTIS.
