Sergeant (Official Thread)

[Rock Candy]

A little-known English-Swiss AOR group formed by two former members of NWOBHM heroes Tygers of Pan Tang (Rob Weir and Brian Dick), Sergeant are really something of an enigma. Fronted by Steve Overland-soundalike Pete Prescott, the band managed to deliver two albums of quality melodic rock, 1984's S/T effort and 1986's Streetwise, neither of which did particularly well.

After the touring for the second album, the band seemed to fall apart, with Prescott joining Cozy Powell and Ray Fenwick's Forcefield project. Shame really, these guys seemed to be able to churn out some quality material.




So, anyone remember these guys?

Re: Sergeant

I remember the band name. I recognized it along with the album cover you posted in the Listening thread. But I really can't place a song title with this band. Moving sounds sorta (maybe) familiar, the other song here doesn't.

I'll be honest, the first time I heard them I just thought it was FM

But Streetwise really has a horrendous cover, doesn't it?

Is that a good or a bad "wow"?

Re: Sergeant

I don't know

No it sounds pretty cool. I'm trying to jog my memory. The Tyger of Pan Tang connection is very familiar.
