Cheap Trick are an indisputable American institution, beloved around the
globe since 1974 for their instantly identifiable, hugely influential,
brand of pop rock ‘n’ roll. The band – Robin Zander (vocals, rhythm
guitar), Rick Nielsen (lead guitar), Tom Petersson (bass guitar), and
Daxx Nelsen (drums) – are truly one of a kind, power pop pioneers with
an unparalleled streak of certifiably classic tunes, spanning
‘Surrender’ and ‘I Want You To Want Me’ to ‘Dream Police’ and the
worldwide #1 hit single, ‘The Flame’. ?
With the release of Bang Zoom Crazy… Hello, the collective will continue their reign as the masters of power-pop through 2016 and beyond.
