Triarchy: Punk and new wave were as much as, if not more than, prog and heavy rock was an influence on us

I'm sure you are familliar with Crayford's Triarchy. Their "Save the Khan" and "Metal Messiah" singles definitevely were more new wave than heavy metal, but anyway they gained attention of those fans who love rock music without boundaries and have an eclectic collection of records  from Rush to Iron Maiden to The Strangelers to whatever they like. The legacy of Triarchy is well documented by High Roller Records who released three compilations of the band. Last year Mike Wheeler, Triarchy's singer/bass player, put out another retrospective release, "The High Roller Tapes", via Bandcamp. Could I miss an opportunity to blow the dust off the Triarchy's history book? No way!
