Bandit (Rock Band)

Bandit (Rock Band)

Bandit were a British rock band, notable in the 1970s.

Bandit released two albums with different line-ups. Bandit's only noted album was their self-titled debut "Bandit" in late 1976/early 1977 on Arista Records. The first album featured Jim Diamond (Scottish Singer/songwriter) on lead vocals and Danny McIntosh on guitar. Also featured were future AC/DC band member Cliff Williams, James Litherland, and drummer Graham Broad, now of Roger Waters's band. A single titled 'Ohio' was also released. The punk music scene of the time caused a lack of attention and the band later parted ways. Jim Diamond went on to join Ph.D. and gained a UK Top 10 hit with "I Won't Let You Down". He later went solo and scored two more chart toppers.

A second album, "Partners in Crime", was released by Ariola Records in 1978, but that too fell into obscurity. The only member of the original line-up to feature on the second album was McIntosh. The other band members for the second album were Gerry Trew, Theodore Thunder, and Tony Lester. Both albums are long out of print. McIntosh is now the guitarist for and husband of the singer-songwriter Kate Bush.

This is not the same Bandit from the US who released their sole album in 1975 on ABC Records, nor any other act with the name ever since, as "Bandit" is commonplace in many languages.
