The 1st album "Rush" originally released on Chrysalis in 1975 featuring the epic 12 minute title track is still selling today to all ages.Their next release was a maxi single with the classic track "School" as the title, sadly only available on collecters sites, but will be on a new album of previously unreleased tracks shortly. "Back To Thunder" was the 2nd and last album originally released on "Gull Records" in 1978 and features the bass solo track "Red Sun" from Gordon Rowley who was once voted the 2nd best Bass player in the world. If you like high energy music totally unique, give this lot a listen. AND NOW!at last after 30 years!! a "live" album is available of a complete set played in 1976 at the Nottingham Boat Club. The cd is totally as it was on the night, no overdubs, no autotune "NOTHING" I dare you to listen to the final track "RUSH" you won't believe just 3 guys can do this!
