Ezy Meat

Ezy Meat, among the New Influx of British Large Metal’s lesser-known (but even more humorously named) Irish contenders, was shaped in the north capital of Belfast, circa 1980, by brothers Paul (vocals, bass) and Ivan Lavery (vocals, guitar) with drummer Ray McKenna. Attuned to both their country’s ’70s hard rock and roll traditions (Rory Gallagher, Thin Lizzy, etc.) as well as the N.W.O.B.H.M.’s new variety of rings, the trio labored in obscurity for several years (their legendary “Makin’ Sound” demonstration tape doing that in the hands of underground investors) before finally obtaining a opportunity to record a debut recording by using fellow Irishman and Dio guitarist Vivian Campbell. A longtime friend and supporter of Ezy Meat, having 1st cut his tooth with fellow Belfast N.W.O.B.H.M. group Lovely Savage, Campbell created the disc during the period of only two times, but regardless of its abundant energy plus some superb songs, there is little success to be enjoyed when it needed to be released from the band’s personal label. 2 yrs later on, Ezy Meat still experienced this same predicament, and their second self-financed LP, 1986’s Rock and roll Your Brains, noticed them wavering between a far more straightforward hard rock and roll sound (similar to community pals Mama’s Young boys) and Rush-inspired prog epics covering whole album sides! The finish was sketching near, and after marking 1987 having a positively atrocious fresh single known as “Warrior” (for the Ebony Information Rock Meets Metallic II compilation), Ezy Meat silently wound down their actions.
