In August 1969, the biggest band in America appeared to come from somewhere that did not exist. Creedence Clearwater Revival sounded as though they had crawled out of a Louisiana swamp: with John Fogerty singing in a ferocious Southern rasp about bayous, paddle steamers, cotton fields and gathering storms.

Time away allowed him to hone in on what mattered, and perfect the craft that would soon see him feature alongside a different calibre of royalty, Aitch. Recognition on mainstream platforms like KISS XTRA quickly followed, where he won Ellie Prohan’s Battle Of The North, proving that despite the anonymity…

Rush were holed up in Le Studio, a residential recording facility tucked away in the mountains of Quebec, when it all got too much for guitarist Alex Lifeson. It was the summer of 1982, and the band were mixing Subdivisions, the track that would open their ninth studio album, Signals.Change was in the air in the wider music world.
