Post Description

Eerste plaat die de Canadese band Headpins heeft uitgebracht met als zangeres Darby Mills en de bekende Canadese producer Brian MacLeod als gitarist.
Helaas is Brian MacLeod een aantal jaren geleden overleden aan de gevolgen van kanker.

Headpins are a Canadian rock group founded as a side project in the late 1970s by then Chilliwack members Ab Bryant and Brian MacLeod. Macleod was impressed by the vocal talents of Vancouver rock singer Denise McCann, and asked her to join his new venture. Originally, Matt Frenette played drums for The Headpins while Bernie Aubin played drums for fellow Vancouver band Loverboy but within months Aubin and Frenette swapped bands where each continues to play to the present. The Headpins began gigging around the Vancouver area throughout 1980, quickly building an intense fan base. McCann left at the end of that first year, and MacLeod brought in Darby Mills to provide lead vocals.

They achieved their height of popularity in 1982-83 with songs like Don"t It Make You Feel (Sample "Don"t It..." here) and Just One More Time. Soon after, Darby Mills was replaced by Chrissy Steele. Later, Steele went on to make her own band with Brian "Too Loud" MacLeod and signed with Chrysalis records before new people who signed her onto Chrysalis records dropped her off the label. She ended up having two hits, "Love You "Til It Hurts" and a ballad, "Love Don"t Last Forever."
