SIEGE Formed in 1984 when vocalist Sharon Thompson joined forces with former ORION members Al Stringer, Ray Lawrence and Dave Glover. Drawing influence from the likes of Black Sabbath, Manowar, Warlock and other great bands of the time, SIEGE set about writing a set of original metal songs and spent two years playing gigs around London and the South East. Releasing their debut single 'Goddess of Fire' in 1985, SIEGE quickly became a popular live act with a strong and loyal following. Lead singer Sharon Thompson sadly passed away in 2010 and a year later, the surviving original members reformed for a special one off show, to pay tribute to their former colleague. This event led to the recording of 'ReIgnite', an album of 80's SIEGE live favourites, which was released on CD and via iTunes in 2012. A brand new album 'Razor Wing' followed in 2013 along with a string of live dates. 2014 sees SIEGE working on their 3rd album, due for release very soon. TOLEDO STEEL Hard hitting classic metal from Southampton, Toledo Steel bring the NWOBHM sound back to the 21st century. Smelted in the blast furnaces of Southampton in 2011, Toledo Steel are a classic metal band alloying influences such as Judas Priest, Grim Reaper and other New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands. After a strong demo and a deluge of razorsharp live shows the band quickly became a local success. Toledo Steel's passion and dedication led their crusade to triumphant victories in cities such as London, Newcastle and Edinburgh. Toledo Steel continue to conquer audiences across the country with wave after wave of serrated riffs, infectious choruses and relentless energy creating a unifying heavy metal call to arms. Now armed with a 2nd guitarist, Toledo Steel have charged straight to the studio to release their molten metal and cast their d�but EP.
