 The group's original style was similar to that of AC/DC but in later years went in a more commercial heavy metal direction along the lines of Judas 9Priest.The band was originally formed in Sydney by bassist Laurie Marlow, and with the recruitment of Brad Kelly from the band Swanee they started to search for other players around Sydney.After months of searching without any luck finding the right members, Marlow discussed using members of an Adelaide band called Heroes, with which he had played bass.
