1011 - Chevy Chevy 1980

Chevy was born from a band called Cupid's Inspiration. Members of this group, after some hit pop records in the sixties and years of playing common pop-rock music, began at the end of 70' s to write their own material. The direction of the new music was melodic rock. At the end of 70's in England there was a resurgence of mainstream hard rock music. This new music was called NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal). Inspiration for these bands was mainly late 60's and early 70's heavy rock music groups. Chevy released one album, "The Taker", in 1980. The album shows a lighter side of the NWOBHM style, more hard rock than real metal with even a shade of southern rock thrown in. Not bad for what it was, but ultimately they became another of the many NWOBHM bands who quickly appeared on the scene and seemingly disappeared just as fast. An album with great songs like the title track.
