Pallas

Pallas is one of the oldest neo-progressive bands. Formed in 1975 by Euan Lowson on vocals, Niall Mathewson on guitar, Ronnie Brown on keyboards, Graeme Murray on bass and Derek Forman on drums, in their early days they tried to land a contract with the A&R production company without success. So they released their self-produced demo "Arrive Alive" in 1983. Their modest success led them to sign with EMI and secure the services of Yes's producer, "Eddie Offord". They then recorded "The Sentinel" in 1984. Lowson then left the band and was replaced by Alan Reed.
