Bio
................ .. .. Stairway is Graeme Leslie – lead vocals and bass guitar; Pete Jennens – lead guitar; Andy Edwards – drums. The Debut CD, 'No Rest : No Mercy' released by Kingsway's Edge Records Label and produced by Paul Hodson (Hard Rain / Bob Catley), hailed the band's International popularity and saw it's debut chart entry in the Japanese Import Charts at #48. The band continued to work live, and independently released in 1999 the second album 'Bleeding Heart'. Stairway's 3rd album 'On Hallowed Ground' was released in 2002 and gained the band an increased global fan base. This followed by having the track 'Under the Gun' chosen to feature on a compilation CD issued by American Label MIB Music in 2003. Further to calls for their debut album, in 2005, Stairway signed a Licensing deal with Retroactive Records in the USA to re-release the 'No Rest: No Mercy' album. This followed by an incredible gig appearance in October '05 at Metalfest Germany Co-headlining with Rob Rock (USA) and Narnia (Sweden). In 2006 the band released their 4th CD - 'The Other Side of Midnight', to rave reviews from fans and media alike and saw its debut Chart entry at #2 in the USA's National College Chart, receiving two Nominations for Best Album and Best Group in the NMW Awards in Hollywood USA. Stairway secured slots co-headlining with Blaze Bayley and Blitzkrieg at UK festival dates in 2007 and 2008 respectively, and with brand new album 'Interregnum' released in April 2010, the band continues to go from strength to strength. .... .... ..

Bands like Stairway are true to their beliefs and don't fool their fans like so many other bands do. Heavy metal is not a trend... it's an idea, a way of living, and Stairway seems to know that very well!!! T.A Grande Rock Magazine Greece .... Honest, simple heavy metal. No difficult tunings, no trying to impress by playing power. This is classic Saxon and Tony Martin Black Sabbath style metal. There are not a lot of bands that I know who do it this way. That might be in Stairway's favour. Why? Because these guys know how to write a good tune, and how to make it sound good. I do wonder why the record companies are ignoring this band in favour of those crappy ones. Time to make amends!.. Wim van Grunsven Mario's Metal Mania – Netherlands .... Every once in a while you need an album like this – the kind of record that joyfully ignores all the current trends and just rocks on in exactly the way it wishes to….if kids had this on their iPods rather than the typical wayward bullshit, then they'd probably smile every now and again. Rocksomething.com - UK .... There's nothing I admire more than a band who does what they feel like doing, continuing to push & hone their craft & basically not giving a toss what the masses think or say. This band might be England's best kept metal secret & they're way too good for that. ..Chaos Realm Magazine- USA.... .... ..Official Band T-Shirts......
