Brighton Rock

Brighton Rock was a Canadian hard rock band formed in 1982 in Niagara Falls by guitarist Greg Fraser and bassist Stevie Skreebs, along with vocalist Gerry McGhee, keyboardist Martin Victor, and drummer Mark Cavarzan. Initially performing under the name Heart Attack, they changed their name to Brighton Rock and became one of Canada's most successful hard rock acts of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Signed to WEA, the band released their debut full-length album "Young, Wild and Free" in 1986, which featured the Canadian hit singles "We Came to Rock" and "Can't Wait for the Night." The album captured the energy and excess of 1980s hair metal and was certified gold in 1989, establishing Brighton Rock as a major force in Canadian rock. In 1988, Brighton Rock released "Take a Deep Breath," which was their most commercially successful album. In Canada, it peaked at number 22 and was number 11 on the Top 50 Cancon Albums of '89, representing the height of their mainstream success.

In 1991, Brighton Rock released "Love Machine," an album that marked significant changes for the band as they eliminated keyboards from their sound, adopting a heavier, more stripped-down approach that reflected the changing musical landscape of the early 1990s. The band toured Ontario to support the album, then broke up, with their last show at the Toronto nightclub Spectrum in June 1992. The band regrouped for a reunion tour in 2001, releasing the live album "A Room for Five Live" in 2002. Brighton Rock has since played occasional shows, keeping their legacy alive for fans of Canadian hard rock.
