The Alarm are a New Wave band from Rhyl, North Wales, formed in 1981 and fronted in all of its incarnations by Mike Peters. The band's sound is a combination of anthemic and political Rock with Celtic/Welsh and Folk influences, and they had several successful singles in the UK throughout The '80s.The band's classic lineup included Peters on guitar and vocals, guitarist Dave Sharp, bassist Eddie Macdonald, and drummer Nigel Twist. The band broke up after their 1991 album Raw, with Peters announcing that he was leaving the band during a live performance at the Brixton Academy. However in 2004 Peters formed a new version of the Alarm, named "Alarm MM++" with the pluses filled in by the roman numerals for the current year, and they have continued to tour and record new material. The current lineup includes Peters, guitarist James Stevenson,note Gene Loves Jezebel, Gen X, The Cult, Chelsea bassist Craig Adams,note The Sisters of Mercy, The Mission, The Cult keyboardist Mark Taylor, and drummer Steve Barnard.note Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros, From The JamAdvertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The classic lineup of the band also reformed for a one-off performance on VH1's Bands Reunited.
