Part 25 in the NWOBHM singles replica series. Limited 500copies

An early and influential band in the New Wave of British HeavyMetal movement, Raven were a group whose lean, tough sound helpedanticipate the rise of thrash metal, though they preferred todescribe their energetic and physical sound as "athletic rock,"inspired in part by their habit of wearing sports gear on-stage.Their debut single Dont Need Your Money was released in 1980 andwas quickly followed by the Hard Ride single in 1981 to promote theupcoming debut album Rock Until You Drop. The single featured anexclusive none album track on the B-side. Hard Ride was a trackwere the band incorporated some Rock n roll boogie instead of goingfor their normal hyperactive speed, even Mark Gallagher sounds likea normal singer and not as over the top that only he can be. Youhave to wait until the second track, Crazy World, before you getany of his ultra-shrill vocals, either your love it or you want tohang him but it fits very well with Raven's energetic aura. If youhave seen Raven live you know what i mean. It also features thatlovely raw sound that became so synonymous with these old NWOBHMsingles. Impulse Studios in Newcastle were so good at getting thatvibe. Listening to old Raven material and you realize that theydeserves to have this legendary status among followers of theNWOBHM.
