Shy

This Birmingham, England-based band focus on Americanized, melodic heavy rock. Originally referred to as Trojan, the machine was shaped in 1982 by Tony Mills (vocals), Steve Harris (electric guitar), Paddy McKenna (keyboards), Alan Kelly (drums), and Tag Badrick (bass). The quintet released their debut record the following season on the indie Ebony label. The tracks had been excellent, seen as a the silver-throated purr of Mills, however the record was disappointed by a small creation. New bass participant Roy Stephen Davis became a member of in 1984 because the music group secured a fresh recording agreement with RCA Information. Two quality albums of advanced pomp-metal implemented, with 1987’s Surplus All Areas getting the music group’s finest function. This included a melodramatic cover edition of Cliff Richard’s ‘Devil Female’ given a genuine rock revision. They obtained the support slot machine on Meats Loaf’s 1987 UK tour, however the recording still didn’t sell in huge quantities. RCA decreased the music group, but they had been rescued by MCA Information, which allocated a big spending budget to record Misspent Youngsters, with Roy Thomas Baker as maker. This recording was a significant disappointment because the music group’s naturally intense approach have been tempered. The tunes had been geared for Stateside FM-radio usage as well as the music group’s identification was suffocated within the medically sterile creation. Mills left soon later on and was briefly changed by Jon Francis (ex-After Hours), using the music group briefly billing themselves as Dark Kitty. In 1993, Los Angeles-based, Birmingham-born John ‘Wardi’ Ward was recruited as Timid’s vocalist. The brand new line-up authorized to the Birmingham centered Granite label and released their comeback in 1994 having a cover edition from the Rolling Rocks’ ‘It’s Just Rock ‘n’ Move’, but following a release from the disappointing THANKS FOR VISITING The Madhouse they split. The traditional line-up from the music group re-formed in 1999 to record fresh materials for the Neat Metallic label, although Kelly remaining the following 12 months.
