MCA RECORDS
Tyneside, England's Fist was but one of many early-'80s bands associated with the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement. Originally called Axe, vocalist/guitarist Keith Satchfield, guitarist Dave Irwin, bassist Dave Durey, and drummer Harry "Hiroshima" Hill first joined forces in April 1978, and by September had recorded their first single, entitled "S.S. Gyro." But the young band soon lost heart due to the unpopular state of hard rock and heavy metal at the time (punk was still ruling the country), temporarily breaking up before acquiring new bassist John Wylie and making a fresh start by changing their name to Fist.
The first 7" in 1980 "Name, Rank and Serial Number" would become one of the very first releases by local record label and legendary NWOBHM hotbed Neat Records. Championed by Sounds journalist Geoff Barton, among others, the single sold respectably enough for Fist and the other two bands cited above to be pawned off to major record company MCA as part of a three-band package deal. Another single, entitled "Forever Amber," soon followed, and come November Fist delivered its full-length debut, "Turn the Hell On", and headed out on the road with none other than British hard rock heavyweights UFO. www.myspace.com/fistnwobhm
