Discography:
First Attack
EMI Greece 1986 buy
New album coming soon!!
It all began in 1985 when Elias Logginides started the band
in Athens, Greece and had a deal
with EMI. As they where in the studio recording their first LP, their singer Dino got into a tragic
car accident before the album hit the streets and stayed paralyzed.
Bad luck
indeed, because the album went into the charts
and is still known today as a master piece and considered as the most successful
rocker in the Greek
scene. In 1986 they opened for Saxon in Athens and
toured on their own in Cyprus and Greece.
Over the years the band suffered from many line up changes, but managed to
record a live album in 1990 at two sold out shows at the Rodon Hall in Athens,
Greece.
In 1996 they made another attempt to get the fighter back in the air, opened two
shows for Iron Maiden, hired Mark on drums and started writing new material. 12
new tracks were pre produced and some recorded, but were never finished and
released, since they had no label interest and couldn't afford an entire
production on their own. So they played a few successful gigs in Greece until
1998 and are still concerned about releasing a new album at some point.
