The Angels story begins in the early 1970s in Adelaide, South Australia. Brothers Rick and John Brewster, along with Doc Neeson and Charlie King, came together around a shared passion for music and a dream of success. Originally known as The Moonshine Jug and String Band, the group experimented with different musical styles, perfecting their craft and developing a unique sound blending elements of hard rock, blues and punk.
In 1977, The Angels released their self-titled debut album to some success, attracting the attention of Australian rock fans. It was the single 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again' that really put the band on the map, becoming an anthem for fans.
Despite their initial success, the Angels faced several challenges, not least the departure of charismatic frontman Doc Neeson, who decided to leave the band after the "Skin & Bone" album, leaving a void that seems difficult to fill.
The band's future seemed uncertain, but they refused to give up. After a period of auditions and introspection, they find their new singer in Dave Gleeson. His powerful voice and stage presence breathe new life into the Angels, who attempt to revive their career with a new opus, "Take It To The Street" in 2012. Unfortunately, the album failed to live up to expectations, and "Talk the Talk", the Angels' final studio effort, was no better, testifying to the band's loss of steam after having left its mark on an entire generation of rockers.

DID YOU KNOW?
The band was originally known as The Moonshine Jug and String Band before changing their name to The Angels. The change was inspired by a neon sign that read "The Angels" outside of the Crystal Ballroom in Adelaide.
