From: Lurgan, Co.Armagh
Active:
Style: Heavy Metal
Lineup:
- Ivan Lavery - guitar, keyboards, vocals
- Paul Lavery - bass, vocals

Bio:
Initially a heavy metal quartet with vocalist Dermot O'Kane, they'd slimmed down
to a trio by the time they recorded their debut LP, which was produced by Vivian
Campbell (then of Sweet Savage). This was released on their own Electric label in
1984, followed by a second in 1986. Both are now difficult to find. There are also
a number of unique tracks scattered across various compilations.
The German Iron
Pages label is currently handling the reissue program of this highly regarded band.
