│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Lionheart was formed in late 1980 by Dennis Stratton (lead ║ │
│║ guitar/backing vocals, ex-Iron Maiden), Jess Cox (lead ║ │
│║ vocals, ex-Tygers Of Pan Tang), Steve Mann (lead ║ │
│║ guitar/backing vocals, ex-Liar), Rocky Newton (bass ║ │
│║ guitar/backing vocals, ex-Wildfire) and Frank Noon (drums, ║ │
│║ ex-Def Leppard). The band began playing gigs including ║ │
│║ regular shows at London's Marquee Club, but had problems ║ │
│║ maintaining a consistent line-up. The core personnel of ║ │
│║ Dennis, Steve and Rocky remained but various singers passed ║ │
│║ through the band including Rueben Archer, John Farlham and ║ │
│║ Bob Hawthorn. They eventually settled as a 4-piece with ║ │
│║ Dennis and Rocky sharing lead vocal duties. The drummer's ║ │
│║ stool was variously occupied by Les Binks (ex-Judas ║ │
│║ Priest), Niko McBrain (ex-Trust and subsequently Iron ║ │
│║ Maiden) and Clive Edwards (ex-Wild Horses). ║ │
│║ Between 1981 and 1984 Lionheart played regular live shows ║ │
│║ and filled the support slot for tours by both Def Leppard ║ │
│║ and Whitesnake. In between gigs they spent many hours ║ │
│║ writing and recording demos of new songs while searching ║ │
│║ for a record deal. It wasn't until 1984 that CBS Records in ║ │
│║ the USA offered them a contract, by which time they had ║ │
│║ recruited Chad Brown on lead vocals. They flew over to Los ║ │
│║ Angeles in March 1984 to record their debut album "Hot ║ │
│║ Tonight" with Kevin Beamish in the production chair and ║ │
│║ session man Bob Jenkins, who had previously worked with Leo ║ │
│║ Sayer and Kiki Dee, on drums. The album was recorded at the ║ │
│║ legendary Sound City Studios in Van Nuys and mixed at ║ │
│║ Kendun Recorders. ║ │
│║ Upon their return to the England, Lionheart recorded a ║ │
│║ high-budget video for the single "Die For Love". The late ║ │
│║ comic genius Rik Mayall played the part of the mad ║ │
│║ professor, which in later years achieved cult status on ║ │
│║ YouTube due in part to the wonderfully wooden acting of the ║ │
│║ band! Unfortunately, planned UK tours as support to Kansas ║ │
│║ and Foreigner were cancelled at the last moment. Promotion ║ │
│║ of the album suffered and Lionheart found themselves in ║ │
│║ limbo. Chad Brown left the band in 1985 to be replaced by ║ │
│║ Keith Murrell, with Toby Sadler coming in on keyboards. ║ │
│║ More demos were recorded with the new line-up but ║ │
│║ unfortunately the momentum had been lost and the band ║ │
│║ eventually broke up. Rocky went on to record backing vocals ║ │
│║ on two Def Leppard albums and joined Michael Schenker with ║ │
│║ Steve, while Dennis spent 15 years with Praying Mantis. ║ │
│║ In 2016 Dave Herron, promoter of the Rockingham Festival in ║ │
│║ Nottingham, asked Lionheart to reunite for one performance ║ │
│║ and all original members, apart from Chad Brown, did so. ║ │
│║ The reunion created quite a stir, not least within the band ║ │
│║ itself, and it was decided to carry on with the subsequent ║ │
│║ recording of a new album followed by an acclaimed ║ │
│║ appearance at Sweden Rock. ║ │
│║ The new record, "Second Nature", was created between ║ │
│║ November 2016 and May 2017 and was produced, engineered and ║ │
│║ mastered by Steve Mann in his own studio in Hannover. A ║ │
│║ mini tour of Japan with Praying Mantis was scheduled for ║ │
│║ June/July with further UK shows with Airrace in ║ │
│║ November/December. The album release on AOR Heaven ║ │
│║ throughout Europe is set for 25th August. ║ │
