Strongbow - Strongbow (1975)

The one and only album from this band from USA.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, organ, mellotron, flute, saxophones and vocals.

This band came from and worked in the Cleveland area between 1972 and 1978. This album and a single was their only creative output. That and numerous gigs.

Their music was a blend of pomp rock, arena rock and symphonic prog.

Supertramp is a band that springs to mind here. There are also some Boston influences here. But most of all, this album is a run of the mill US arena rock album.

The music is pretty mellow with some decent melodies. The vocals is good. 

The music industry was and still is a cut-throat business where only the strong albums and bands survive. This album fell well short of making it. There is no hit singles here. There is no really pieces of music which stands out here. 

This album is a decent album. Fans of pomp and arena rock from the 1970s may want to check out this album.
