ARC from Stourport-on-Severn were one of those
bands which lasted for a few years and released just a pair of singles but
gained cult status among the fans of hard rock and early heavy metal. Their
second single “War of the Ring” was based on J. R. R. Tolkien books and came
out waaaay before this fantasy theme spread like a plague in power metal. I tried
so hard to find anyone from this band but it seemed the guys were rare guests
on Facebook so I almost gave up when David Towers came to rescue. He was a
member of Red Hunter together with the Whitbread brothers in 2000’s and agreed
to conduct the interview with Mike Whitbread and transcript it for the
blog!
