The band members Doug Kennard, Pete Buckby and Don Maxwell served their musical apprenticeship by playing with various bands in the 1960's. As Canned Rock they excelled in playing live, songs that no-one else would attempt outside the studio. They filled the clubs in the UK and built up a healthy following in Sweden, Holland,Ireland,Germany and Cyprus. They were voted viewers' winners on ITV's "New Faces" and went on to win the "Top Group" award on ITV's "Entertainers Of The Year" show two years running. During their decade as Britain's finest club group, Canned Rock released two studio albums, in 1978 and 1982, which are released here on CD for the first time.
