An awesome, yet little know in U.S.A, 70s metal band. The band, from Cardiff, Whales; had a major impact on metal bands of the 80s and 90s. The sound is a combination of Rush and Black Sabbath.
Burke Shelly (bass/vocals), Tony Bourge (guitar), and Ray Phillips (drums).
Shelly's voice resembles
Getty Lee and Bourge's hard driving guitar riffs resemble Black Sabbath.
Budgie is underrated but very influentual.
Metallica is a
big fan of Budgie, they even recorded their song "
Breadfan."
