The Ugly Ducklings are a Canadian garage/rock/pop band. Wrong answer Mr. Foxhound. Go stand in the corner.:oyea:

Journey man drummer Cozy Powell led this heavy blues-rock band to one release in 1973. Produced by Felix Pappalardi who worked with Cream and Mountain.

Re: Proto - Metal

I can't find any YouTube Videos of this UK band that formed in 1969 .Forced to describe their sound (as I am haha ) I would call them a strange mix of progressive rock, Led Zeppelin (Guitarist Vernon Pereira played in Band of Joy w/ Robert Plant before this ) and Proto-Doom . I find them quite interesting even with the weird over the top vocal styling .This is a band that would evolve into the first incarnation of Judas Priest ( though none of the o members remain today ) They were on the verge of signing a major record deal when a tragic auto accident on the way back from a gig killed three members .

Their album, POSSESSED ~ Exploration, should have been released in 1971
but wasn't released until the 90's. I really like this stuff alot now but must admit I thought it sucked years ago before I really got into it after probably the 5th listen .

Re: Proto - Metal

Another power trio, Incredible Hog was a blues-boogie hard rock band out of the UK. The album contains some pretty good foot-stomping rock 'n' roll. Only one album to thier credit, Volume 1 from 1973.
