Saxon broke through in the early 1980s with albums such as Wheels of Steel (1980), Strong Arm of the Law (1980) and Denim and Leather (1981), which contained classic songs such as 747 (Strangers in the Night), Motorcycle Man and Princess of the Night. Their music is characterized by powerful riffs underpinned by epic melodies.

The band has defied all musical trends, new structures in the music world and band member defections and consistently continued to release albums and tour the world in true rock solid hard rock spirit.

Their clear loyalty to the genre and not least to their audience has paid off. Saxon has maintained an extremely loyal fan base that is constantly being added to by new generations who stick with their band - Saxon.
