The Sting-Rays were a British Garage Rock and Psychobilly band from Greater London. Formed in the early 1980's and disolved 1988.Born in the early 80's they were one of the most important bands of Brithish rock'n'roll sound, even one of the best british bands. They are one of the first bands who made a sound nowdays we called psychobilly. Their sound mixed rock'n'roll and garage and that make it really savage. Founded in Crouch End (north of UK) they were sticking and alive from 1981 to 1987 touring all along Europe. The members of the band changed in those years but the spirit and writer of almost all the songs was Alec Palao. "Dinosaurs", their debut album, caught the Stingrays crossing a bridge most other bands would have fallen off, poised between styles that would take them a while to reconcile Bal Croce - voice Alec Palao - drums Mark Hosking - guitar Keith Cockburn - bass - amazontrax:
