It Bites - Calling All The Heroes (1986)This British band (from
Cumbria) peaked at No.6 in August 1986 with this catchy number. It was lifted from the band's first album The Big Lad in the Windmill, from which two other singles were released; All In Red and Whole New World.
During the 1980's, It Bites released three studio albums; The Big Lad in the Windmill (1986), Once Around The World (1988) and Eat Me in St. Louis (1989).
Although not taken seriously by some critics, the band became one of Britain's top
underground rock acts during the late 80s, with excellent live
performances and filling venues the size of the Hammersmith Odeon.
The band split in 1990, but have since reformed or partially reformed with various line-ups. In 2011, the band released the album It Happened One Night.
