    Squawk was agreat record,so was In for the Kill and Never turn your back on a friend.Most of their pre 80's material was Ok.Then they had a few line-up changes and they kinda lost it,I guess.

One of those rare 70's hard rock/power trios I could never get into!!! Not for lack of trying.

 

Not prog, BTW , just in case this was the goal of this thread!!

Well,not that I want to disagree,but I will.I think they, like so many other heavy bands from the 70's had some prog tendencies ie;use of the mellotron,long tracks,concept albums,fantasy lirycs,R.Dean artwork ect...true they were primarly a hard-rock band,but I think lots of proggers can identify with them.Anyway I just dig them for what they are,and I don't really care about waht is prog or not.Just great music.

I like "Bandolier". I met the bassist/singer Burke Shelley once, he lives in Cardiff. He was playing in a pub with "Titch" who recently died in a fire!

First five are good, but I got insane and collected them as vinyls. Now I have all major releases and few single/EP's.

Silly lyrics.   The overall sound is also very obscure on their first albums. Very silent distorted semi-acoustic guitar plays some chromatic riff's with bluesy solos. The drums and bass come very strongly on front, and a sometimes there's some high-pitched vocals (sadly?). Sometimes they even play mellotrons, and have Roger Dean's covers!
