It Bites formed in Cumbria in the early 1980s, and achieved chart success in 1986 with their top 10 UK hit single 'Calling All The Heroes'. The band released three albums on Virgin Records – 'Big Lad In The Windmill' (1986), 'Once Around The World' (1988) and 'Eat Me In St Louis' (1989) before the band broke up following the departure of their original frontman Francis Dunnery.
Nearly 20 years later, and to meet considerable public demand, the three remaining band members – John Beck (keyboards), Bob Dalton (drums), and Dick Nolan (bass) – decided to reunite, along with new vocalist/guitarist John Mitchell, a well-respected guitarist and songwriter as well as a lifelong fan of the band.
The newly-reformed It Bites completed a successful tour of the UK at the end of 2006, which was followed by the release of a live album from the tour 'When The Lights Go Down' which features both old classics (including Kiss Like Judas, Still Too Young To Remember, Old Man And The Angel) as well as previewing a number of new songs.
Their fourth studio album 'The Tall Ships' – their first in nearly 20 years – is now available to buy from all major music retailers.
It Bites have just finished a UK tour, with new bass player Lee Pomeroy.
