Frijid Pink is an American rock band that initially emerged from the late 1960s Detroit music scene, riding the wave of high-energy rock 'n' roll that was sweeping the United States. Originally formed in 1967, the band is perhaps best known for their heavy, bluesy sound and their psychedelic interpretation of "House of the Rising Sun," a traditional folk song which they transformed into an international hit in 1970. Frijid Pink's self-titled debut album, which included this single, was released in 1970 and showcased the band's raw, distorted guitar-driven style, indicative of that era's hard rock milieu.
The lineup has seen numerous changes over the years, but the band has managed to retain its distinctive, gritty rock signature. Frijid Pink's discography stretches across the decades, with notable works such as "Defrosted" (1971) and "Earth Omen" (1972), albums that helped cement their legacy in the annals of heavy rock. Following a hiatus, the band saw a resurgence in activity with the release of "Made in Detroit" (2002) and "Taste of Pink" (2006), both of which carry forward the band's vintage flavor while adapting to the production standards of their respective times. Although Frijid Pink has not consistently been in the limelight, their continued work and the remastering of their classics like "The Beginning, Vol. 5 (Remastered 1985)" and "Frijid Pink (Digitally Remastered)" ensure that their gritty Detroit rock resonates with both their longtime fans and new listeners alike.
