From a 2017 Interview
The band originally came together in late 1980 and we were called NWOBHM although we always had a more blues/hard rock edge to us rather than out and out metal. The band gigged relentlessly for 18-20 months including a support tour of Europe with Nightwing in early summer 1982. Financial difficulties and the lack of a good record deal meant we split up in late 1982.
Is there a particular story behind the band name ?
The name comes from the opera Les Troyens (in English: The Trojans) by Berlioz, not because we liked or listened to opera but because it was spotted flipping through some old albums either at someones house or in a second hand record store .
Since your band is underground in the initial meaning of the word, an introduction to your music would be necessary.
Our music comes from many influences from the 1970’s including Free, Led Zeppelin, UFO, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, Budgie and more.
