AIRFORCE - born out of the heart of UK metal with roots reaching deep into the NWOBHM scene. Airforce deliver raw, riff-driven heavy metal that sits comfortably alongside the classics. Anchored by driven drums, razor-sharp guitar hooks and powerful vocals, their sound blends the spirit of old-school metal with thunderous energy and crowds have described them as “pure metal at full throttle” and “a band that makes every stage feel like home.” Since its inception in 1989 Airforce enjoyed much local success with Chop Pitman on guitar, Doug Sampson ex-drummer of Iron Maiden, Sam "Tomcat" Sampson on vocals (formerly of Sam Apple Pie) and Tony Hatton on bass guitar. This original classic rock band from London names various artists as its chief influencers, such as Black Sabbath, Van Halen and Judas Priest, amongst others. Chop Pitman formed Airforce with Doug and the others after jamming with Doug and Iron Maiden's very own Steve Harris. This true addition to British Rock Music now works extremely well together and perform some real rocking tracks. They are writing new songs as well as revamping old material to a higher production standard. ALL members of Airforce play a variety of instruments and contribute to new material, musically as well as lyrically. And as a result their melodies are instantly memorable and bass lines are punchy and driven. Sticking to the very core of their early influences, Airforce FLY THE FLAG for the London Rock scene.
