Led by Michael Monroe and Andy McCoy (born Matti Fagerholm and Antti Hulkko) this band is credited with popularizing the glam look later adopted by acts such as Ratt and Poison.
Despite wide popularity in Japan and Southeast Asia, the band only had minor his in the U.S. with “Beer and a Cigarette” and a cover of CCRs “Up Around the Bend” before breaking up after losing their drummer in a fatal drunk driving incident.
