Bio:
Persia is a hard rock band from New Jersey, USA, that was formed in 1986, but it's only when guitar-virtuoso Mike Reid joined the band that things became serious and professional. The band recorded their first demo tape "Read To Rock" in 1988 followed by a CD-EP in 1991, with Ricky McCoy as singer, Bill Boyer on the drums and Anthony Picone on bass, together with Mike Reid on guitar.- Playing many shows in local clubs, PERSIA also had the chance to open for bigger bands such as Winger, Warrant, Skid Row, Don Dokken and Dee Snider's Widowmaker.- With a style influenced by Van Halen, Dokken, Aerosmith and Mr. Big, and also Judas Priest (in the heavier songs) - still keeping its own identity - the band went thru' a few changes, and new members, singer Larry Atello and drummer Dave Wrenn joined PERSIA. With this line-up the band cut the cassette "Back On Top" and the final release "No Compromise" in 1995, touring the whole East Coast.
