 ends Steve "Lips" Kudlow (vocals/guitar) and Robb Reiner (drums). They had 
 been playing music together since their teens. Initially known as Lips\, th
 e band added bassist Ian Dickson and rhythm guitarist Dave Allison\, and in
  1980 recorded an independent album titled Hard 'n' Heavy\, which introduce
 d their penchant for sexual explicitness. Zany antics notwithstanding\, Anv
 il's musical contributions were very real\; their fastest songs were some o
 f the earliest speed metal laid to wax\, while jazz-trained drummer Robb Re
 iner set new technical standards for the genre\, including pioneering the d
 ouble bass drum technique that's become a staple of much extreme metal sinc
 e.\nAnvil were one of the first North American bands to push the sound and 
 style of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal one step further. Indebted to 
 the likes of Judas Priest\, Iron Maiden\, and many others from across the A
 tlantic\, Anvil nonetheless played louder\, faster\, and heavier than their
  heroes\, in the process laying the groundwork for the thrash movement that
  took over heavy metal's underground in the '80s. Anvil's second and third 
 albums\, Metal on Metal and Forged in Fire\, made significant waves in the 
 metal community in 1982 and 1983. - www.allmusic.com\nhttps://www.instagra
