Details: Bite The Bullet were originally formed in 1986 by singer songwriter Mick Benton and drummer Graham Cowling. They met in 1984 when they both joined West London rock band "Mother's Ruin". Thanks to the legendary Greg Lake, Benton managed to secure a solo deal with Atlantic Records and he asked Cowling to play drums. It's good to see that their collaboration is still strong to this very day. In 1986 "Bite the Bullet" were formed and the music played was in the style of Foreigner, Toto and Mr. Mister, an album was released in 1989 to some quiet success. The music was warmly received and the band earned themselves some radio airplay. However, britpop was coming into the forefront and a cancelled support slot with the mighty ELO saw the band disheartened and whilst they never really disbanded there was a long period of inactivity. Benton and Cowling always remained friends and they still played in pubs and clubs over the years which brings is up to 2019 when their debut was reissued on CD. It ignited a flame in the two men and brought the original recording back to the forefront again and old fans reappraised the album whilst new fans joined in. In January 2021 the year started with "Black and White" (ESM349) and the band have gone from strength to strength. They combine Mr Mister with Asia to produce a nice smooth rock pop sound. Mick and Graham Have continued writing new material and have been so busy they have released "End of the Line" (ESM361) in 2022, "Rocky Road" (ESM375) in 2023 and "Looking for Paradise" (ESM391) in 2024 and all have been warmly received by fans old and new. To keep the momentum going here they are with a brand-new release "Horizon" for 2025, it just can't get any better, the eleven songs on offer are just simply amazing. This is a really strong release, it could well prove to be their best to date
