Storm

This Los Angeles-based quartet, formed in 1978 by Jeanette Chase (vocals), Lear Stevens (guitar), Ronni Hansen (bass) and David Devon (drums), played hi-tech hard-rock, seen as a Lear’s Brian May-like guitar sound and the powerful vocals of Chase. They included components of Queen, Truck Halen and Styx within complicated, and sometimes classically styled, agreements. Their second record moved even more towards AOR, using the inclusion of even more lightweight material as well as folk influences.
