Rankelson Rankelson
a NWOBHM band from Cardiff, Wales   flag-- Disbanded --


Last Update: September 26, 2009

info

This odd Welsh band seemed to miss the mark a bit -- first, the odd band name which doesn't seem to make much sense. Then there was their immage -- based on their album cover, they were going for somewhat of a glam look, but their music only occasionally hinted at that, instead going for a keyboard-enhanced, accessible NWOBHM sound. They recorded two rather unremarkable albums for the everpresent Ebony label in the mid-eighties. Bassist Kim Hooker later went on to front the more successful glam band Tigertailz.
