STRAPPS ........UK hard rock band formed in 1975 featuring
Ross Stagg vocals/guitar
Noel Scott keyboards
Joe Read bass
Mick Underwood drums [ ex Episode six, Quatermass...later with GILLAN ]
A 70s band that had good pedigree and good musicianship but failed to make the big league in the rock world. Some of their albums were produced by Roger Glover and STRAPPS highlight in their career with EMI records was to support DEEP PURPLE. While sadly they were overlooked in the UK and Europe they did have success in Japan.
STRAPPS Discography
Strapps 1976
Secret Damage 77
Sharp Conversation 78
Ball of fire 79
Musically STRAPPS were bit of an oddity with various musical styles.....the 1st album can be annoying at times with its quirky almost art/glam changes, but certain tracks on the second album make you stand up and take notice.
"Down to you" is a REAL undiscovered gem of a rock track !
