PANZA TRAX RECORDS
A Sheffield based five piece originally formed as ROKKA in 1978 - with a line-up of ex-STRAND and NIGHTSHIFT vocalist Phil Casey, guitarists Glenn Marples and Tony West, bassist Peter Burgin and drummer Simon Freeston. ROKKA split with Casey and Marples took over on lead vocals, just prior to issuing the single 'Come Back' in 1980 on their own Rokka label. Shortly after, the band renamed itself PANZA DIVISION.
West was superseded by Rick Corcoran and the band supported the likes of SAXON, Y&T and TWISTED SISTER. Indeed, such exposure led to heavy label interest, the band already having come close admidst the signing frenzy of the NWoBHM. However, their legacy remains a self financed single and a track on the 'Scene Of The Crime' compilation alongside SAVAGE and TYRANT.
Simon Freeston was to be replaced by ex-BITTER SUITE drummer Steve Mitchell and, in 1984, bassist Alan Edwards joined WITCHFYNDE and Steve Mitchell formed FIELD FORCE with former RAGE guitarist Mick Devonport.
In 1986 PANZA DIVISION metamorphosed into LONELY HEARTS.
