To obok Iron Maiden mój ulubiony przedstawiciel gatunku. Do do dzisiaj nagrywają pełnowartościowe płyty.wikipedia pisze:Legendarny brytyjski zespół muzyczny wywodzący się z kręgu NWOBHM, założony w 1976 roku (pierwotnie pod nazwą Son of a Bitch) w South Yorkshire.
Cechą charakterystyczną ich utworów są opisy życia rockmenów (motocykle i koncerty) oraz motywy batalistyczne.
