Phoenix Rising
Phoenix Rising was just one of many British bands to emerge during the
NWOBHM period of the early eighties.
Playing a more laid-back, hard-rock version of Brit metal, they released
a self-titled EP on their own label in 1983 and broke up a couple of
years later (the later CD,
The Live Session, was recording during this
period as well).
Years later, guitarist Pete Bangert put together a new version of the band
in honor of original drummer Danny Spencer, who had died of leukemia.
A tape (later put on CD) entitled
Leukaemia Research Benefit Tape,
consisting of four covers and one new track, was released by this second
version of the band in 1992, and they gigged for a number of years after
that.
