Hi
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I am looking for copies of the Stryder single Forcin' Thru, and I though someone here must have it. I will pay any price you ask for it ! Also looking for any material concerning Irish metal / heavy rock bands from the 1980's especially a band called Sweet Revenge ... If anyone could help I'll appreciate it !!! thank you ! |

I remember that single "Forcin Thru'" alright and I saw Stryder in the school off Measc(?) Avenue in the late 70s...dont have a copy though, Corwin...have you tried e-bay? (actually, also try gemm.com, they have loads of singles on sale, you may get it there!?). Edit: Had a look on e-bay and Gemm.com but couldnt find it there Corwin. Welcome to the site by the way! The other Irish band you mention "Sweet Revenge", I have a single "Take no prisoners" by a band called "Sweet Savage", who I think are from Ireland - it isnt them is it? Edited by Brunswick |

Sweet Revenge were from Cavan and had 2 singles - Hawks of Cairo and Feel the Bullets Bite both from the early 1980's. that's all I know. Sweet Savage were a different band ... by the way, I'm form Israel myself, so it's kinda difficult to locate this stuff here hahah ... |

I used to have several copies of the single, not sure if i have any left. I used to go see them in the baggot. They were great, as were sweet savage, that single you have mel is a classic. that has vivian campbell on it, who later ended up in, Dio, Whitesnake and Def Leppard!

A school friend of mine designed the first Stryder concert poster (a white horse on black background) and I was at a concert they gave in Ardscoil Ris in 1977 - can anyone remember the band members names as I can only remember some of the 1977 Stryder were Eugene 'Gibbey' Giblin on drums, Alan Quigley vocals - they had all met up at the old Fairview Youth Club - can't remember the rest. How long did the band last?? |

hahah no no, I'm actually Russian and moved to Israel. I've just got interested in the band Stryder since I've heard the single on a CDR a friend gave me and decided to find a copy for myself. Quickly I have discovered it's really difficult to find it, so I though to ask here ...

Alan Quigley - vocals
Brian Meehan - Bass Ger Kennedy - Guitar Joe Weiren - guitar Eugene Giblin - drums Not sure of year exactly but I think the started in the Crofton, playing support to the Lookalikes. Then got a residency after lookalikes moved on. I thought they were really good and who knows if they had a bit of luck?? Edited by finno |
