Hey everyone. Hope all is well with you folks. I haven't posted for quite a while, but would like to continue my series, so on it goes! :)
The band is Trooper. They formed in Vancouver, in 1975, and are still active. The band has had as many as 18 different former members go through the band ranks, with many of those being drummers. Ramon McGuire and Brian Smith are the two remaining original members of the band, since formation. It may be noted, that Trooper played at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic victory ceremonies. Below, I am linking one of the bands most famous songs, enjoy!
The best dang Trooper song, from the '78 "Thick As Thieves".

Talk about an enduring band. And unknown in the US.

Haha yes, quite the enduring band indeed! Ahh that is too bad they are unknown in the US, I kind of figured that, though I believe when I was getting some info on them for my writeup, I saw that they had at least one hit in the US as well.. Thought it may have been this song but it must have been another one!
