To say that Saxon are one of metal's most influential bands would be no understatement.  The band who along with Iron Maiden and Motorhead begun the movement now known as The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, have been sited by no lesser luminaries than Metallica and  Slayer as a primary influence.

Being the trailblazing pioneers in any walk of life has its hazards and so it was that Saxon's over the top shows also inspired a young filmmaker by the name of Rob Reiner who made the world's first full length mocumentary, This Is Spinal Tap!

Despite having enough history to deserve a faculty dedicated to them at Oxford or Cambridge, Saxon has never been the kind of band to rest on it laurels. Their pioneering ways continue with the announcement of the band's first ever tour of Australia.
