Fox on the run

“Sweet” is considered one of the main British bands in the seventies which were the early forms of glam rock or pop metal of the following decade. They had it all, the hits, the music, the melody, the charm, and the sound, but somehow, they could not materialize their fame and success and faded out slowly over the next decade. Although the surviving members occasionally continue their tours, their heydays of the seventies could never be repeated.

Reviewers- Bikash Shrestha/Nirab Kayastha

“UFO” is a classic hard rock band formed in London in 1968. Creating classic hard rock numbers like “Shoot shoot”, “Rock bottom”, “Let it roll”, “Only you can rock me”, they have a cult status in the rock world. An intermediate bridge between early hard rock, heavy metal and new wave of British heavy metal, they are a perfect classic hard rock band. Formed by Phil Mogg (Vocals), Mick Bolton (Guitars), Pete Way (Bass) and Andy Parker (Drums), they were a small band to begin with. However, soon, with the addition of Michael Schenker from Scorpions, they drove to international stardom in the early seventies. With much line-up changes, over the next decades, they consolidated their success and they have been still going strong!

I want you to want me (Live)

Reviewers- Bikash Shrestha/Nirab Kayastha

“Cheap Trick” is a band which was an excellent remix of pop, rock, heavy metal and punk. Formed in 1973 in Illinois, this American band consisted of Robin Zander (Vocals), Rick Nielsen (Guitars), Tom Petersson (Bass) and Bun E. Carlos (Drums). Their self titled debut album in 1977 did not fare that well, but the second album “In Color” the same year was more polished and successful. Their commercial worldwide break through was resulted with their 1978 live album “At Budokan.” “At Budokan” was an unexpectedly successful album, recorded during their 1978 Japan tour. It was originally released in Japan only but later due to excessively high demand, it was released worldwide and became their most successful album ever. With various ups and downs, they have been constantly making music and touring all over the world, going strong till present date.

Holiday

Reviewers- Bikash Shrestha/Nirab Kayastha

“Scorpions” are one of the most popular hard rock/heavy metal bands from the late sixties and going on strong till present. Formed in 1965 by Rudolf Schenker in Germany, they were able to establish themselves as hard rock band from the early days. However, with addition of Rudolf’s brother Michael Schenker as guitarist and Klaus Meine as vocalists, the band skyrocketed from Germany into the entire world. Various line-up changes followed during their career. The addition of Matthias Jabs as lead guitarist in 1978 shifted the band into more heavy metal sound along with prototype hard rock ballads. Endowed with total 18 studio albums till date, they have had numerous accolades and loyal fan following all over the world. They have been considered as “The Heroes of Heavy Metal” by The Rolling Stones and “Ambassadors of Rock” by MTV and were ranked 46th on VH1’s Greatest Artists of hard Rock.
