Details of Airforce
Artist / Band
Details
New Wave of British Heavy Metal rockers Airforce were originally formed back in 1987 by guitarist Chop Pitman and bassist Tony Hatton. Former Iron Maiden drummer Doug Sampson (featured on Maiden's legendary Soundhouse Tapes EP) soon joined the line-up and Airforce were active for many years before finally calling it a day. In 2016, the band were asked to supply a track for a compilation CD featuring all ex-Iron Maiden members and subsequently released a retrospective compilation, stirring up renewed interest in Airforce. Two EPs followed, the latter featuring Paul Di'Anno as special guest, before an appearance at the Hills of Rock festival alongside Maiden and Judas Priest. Subsequent tours have included a well-received run opening for British Lion in 2021. The core Airforce line-up of Doug Sampson, Chop Pitman and Tony Hatton has now been completed by Portuguese powerhouse vocalist Flavio Lino. The band unashamedly wear their NWOBHM origins on their sleeve and like the name of their first full length studio album 'Strike Hard' (2020) suggests, they most certainly do!
