Chasar was formed in Alloa, Scotland, in 1981 (other sources say 1980) by the Marshall brothers, Jim (drums) and Peter (bass), recruiting Alec Pollock on vocals and guitar . remained the core line up throughout the band¹s career (c. 1981 - 1989).
The first song the band wrote together was “Kings”, showing the strong Rush influence for which Chasar became famous (infamous?) and at first they did sound like a heavy-metal Rush, going so far as to include several Rush covers in their set. the material grew heavier the more they wrote, drawing their influences from across the rock spectrum from Sabbath to UFO and Thin Lizzy, and there was more of a focus for Alec¹s scary fusion/prog influenced guitar playing. early gig recording circulated around this time, from an Irvine show, and this may have been officially available at gigs ... no one can remember!
