Status Quo

Formed in Wales, The Alarm is known for their energetic mix of amped-up acoustics and harmonica. Hits like “The Stand” and “Sixty Eight Guns” gained them fame. The band played live via MTV in the Spirit of '86 concert and reinvented themselves with 2004's “45 RPM” chart hit. They've faced hurdles like Mike Peters' cancer but released albums such as "Under Attack" and "Equals." Celebrated during their 30th Anniversary, they continue to impact with albums like the 2019 chart-topping "Sigma."

British rock band Status Quo, known for their heavy boogie rock, scored numerous UK Top Ten hits like "Down Down" and "Rockin' All Over the World." Founded in London, they evolved from psychedelia to hard rock, sold millions, and collaborated with Manchester United on "Come On You Reds." Despite limited US success, they remained a UK staple for over 50 years.
