February 1982
FORMED a couple of years ago in Birmingham by Stevie Young (Angus and Malcolm’s nephew), the Starfighters are already making waves in the hard rock world. After a support slot on the 1980 AC/DC tour the lads went into the studios with a producer, who has worked with Euro-rockers Trust and Krokus and also boasts engineering credits with AC/DC. An impressive debut album subsequently emerged on Jive Records and the band opened for the Michael Schenker Group last year. Since then they’ve been busy playing their own gigs and are currently out on the road in America with Ozzy Osbourne.
