Atomic Mass were an English hard rock/heavy metal band from Sheffield, who formed in 1977 as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement.

History

Formation

Pete Willis, Rick Savage, and Tony Kenning, all students at Tapton School in Sheffield, formed Atomic Mass in 1977. Following a chance meeting with Willis after missing a bus, 18-year old Joe Elliott auditioned for the band as a guitarist. During his audition, however, it was decided that he was better suited to be lead vocalist.

Def Leppard

In November 1977, Atomic Mass morphed into Deaf Leopard, which became Def Leppard, who went on to achieve worldwide fame. Def Leppard are still recording and performing today.

Reunion

In February 2003, Atomic Mass reunited at the Hallam FM Arena. The lineup for that event was Joe Elliott, Pete Willis, Rick Savage, and Frank Noon.
