Chrome Molly, an English hard rock band from Leicester, formed in 1982 with Steve Hawkins on vocals, John Antcliffe on guitar, Nic Wastell on bass, and Chris Green on drums. Following the release of the EP You Said, Chris Green was replaced by Mark Godfrey on drums prior to the recording of their debut album You Can’t Have It All...Or Can You? (1985). Their second album, Stick It Out, followed in 1987. After Antcliffe’s departure and the arrival of Tim Read on guitar, Chrome Molly signed with I.R.S. Records and released their third album, Angst (1988). They toured as a support act for Alice Cooper on his Raise Your Fist And Yell tour in 1988. The band later moved to Music for Nations for their fourth album, Slaphead (1990), before disbanding in 1991. Chrome Molly reformed in 2009 and released Gunpowder Diplomacy in 2013.
