Chevy were a British NWOBHM band of the early 1980s. They were formed in Coventry in 1979 just as the movement of new heavy metal bands were taking off. They released four official offerings, with their only full-length LP being "The Taker" - released in 1980. Chevy's sound is very much in the blues/southern rock style side of the NWOBHM genre, sounding similar to NWOBHM contemporaries like Medusa, Dragonfly and others, as opposed to the thrashier side (Venom, Blitzkrieg, Cloven Hoof et al)

The Lineup:

Martin Cure - Vocals, guitars

Andy Chaplin - Drums

Paul Shanahan - Guitar

Steve Walwyn - Guitar (Hands Off, The DT's, Steve Marriot Band, Eddie and the Hotrods, Roger Chapman Band, Big Town Playboys, Dr. Feelgood)

Bob Poole - Bass
