Bang is a rock band that emerged in the early 1970s, often recognized for its heavy sound and resemblance to the likes of Black Sabbath. Formed by guitarist Frank Ferrara, bassist Frank Gilcken, and drummer Tony D'Iorio, Bang swiftly rose from obscure beginnings to signing with Capitol Records, producing their self-titled debut album "Bang" which helped them gain a dedicated following among hard rock enthusiasts. The album included standout tracks like "Lions, Christians" and demonstrated the band's potential in the burgeoning hard rock scene of the era.
Over the years, Bang persisted through various industry challenges and lineup changes, yet they managed to retain their distinctive sound. Their music continued to evolve while still harking back to the power chords and gritty lyrics that defined their early days. Their discography includes a number of noteworthy entries such as "Mother / Bow To The King," which underlines their tendency to combine muscular rock anthems with more intricate musical storytelling. Other releases include "Music / The Lost Singles," capturing the essence of their earlier career with unreleased tracks, and "RTZ - Return To ZerO," which signals not only a return to their roots but also a rebirth of the band's creative energy. "The Maze," and "Death Of A Country," further explore Bang's signature blend of heavy riffing and thought-provoking lyrics, with the latter being an unreleased album recorded before their debut, finally seeing the light of day decades later. Their twin releases of "Another Me" reaffirm Bang's enduring legacy in the hard rock genre, showcasing their capacity to deliver impactful music with genuine substance.
