Notes:
– One of those bands that would rise endless discussions and arguments whether they should be categorized as NWOBHM or not. The truth is that both opinions would have come with valid arguments to support their point of view. It was decided to include them here, however, even though the “Metallic” element in their music is not always present. It appears though that they were very much influenced indeed by the rising NWOBHM movement of their time.
– Actively giging the UK since the mid 1970s and because of their diversity appealed to both Prog Rock and Metal audiences.
– It appears that in later years they played a few low-profile reunion gigs in their hometown of Portsmouth
