Little Angels

Little Angels was a British rock band that emerged during the late 1980s and achieved considerable success in the UK rock scene. Here are some facts about the band:

  1. Formation and Early Years: Little Angels was formed in Scarborough, England, in 1984. The original lineup consisted of vocalist Toby Jepson, guitarists Mark Plunkett (known as Bruce John Dickinson) and Dave Hopper, bassist Mark Richardson, and drummer Michael Lee. The band initially gained attention for their energetic live performances and catchy melodic rock sound, drawing inspiration from classic rock bands like Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, and AC/DC.

  2. Rise to Fame: Little Angels' breakthrough came in the late 1980s when they signed with Polydor Records and released their debut album, "Don't Prey for Me", in 1989. The album featured the hit singles "Kicking Up Dust" and "Boneyard", which received significant airplay on UK rock radio stations and helped the band build a dedicated fan base. Little Angels' energetic live shows and charismatic stage presence further solidified their reputation as one of the rising stars of the British rock scene.

  3. Commercial Success: Little Angels' second album, "Young Gods", released in 1991, propelled them to even greater success. The album reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and spawned several hit singles, including "Young Gods", "Too Much Too Young", and "Womankind". With its anthemic choruses, infectious hooks, and polished production, "Young Gods" cemented Little Angels' status as one of the leading rock bands of the early 1990s. The band's popularity extended beyond the UK, with tours and festival appearances in Europe and the United States.

  4. Disbandment and Legacy: Despite their commercial success, Little Angels disbanded in 1994 following the release of their fourth album, "Jam".

However, Little Angels left behind a lasting legacy in the UK rock scene, influencing subsequent generations of rock bands with their melodic songwriting, energetic performances, and stadium-sized anthems. Toby Jepson went on to pursue a solo career and later formed the band Wayward Sons, while other members pursued various musical endeavors.
