Bio:
Metal/hard rock band with Dave King. Essentially a reformed Stilwood
after they'd parted company with Fast Eddie Clarke and Fastway. Dave King
later worked in an experimental metal band called Katmandu (circa 1991)
and now fronts Flogging Molly, a Pogues inspired punk/trad hybrid.
The band's sole single "The Power To Love" is a power metal ballad with a belting vocal
which explains why Dave King was so highly rated as a singer at the time. It is a magnificent
single which transcends genre and is one of the best Irish singles of the 1980s.
It was issued in two different cover designs. There's a great clip of the band's appearance
on Mega Mix (RTE) on you tube. Check the Videos page for a link.
Gary Moore guested with the band onstage during a AIDS Benefit at the Olympic Ballroom
in Dublin in 1988.
