Cheap Trick took inspiration from ’60s pop, punk and heavy metal. Their sound had a hard influence on both alternative and heavy metal bands of the ’80s and ’90s. Before Cheap Trick, these bands relied on the mainstream combination of blaring riffs and appealing melodies. Growing a following after three albums — 1977’s Cheap Trick, In Color and 1978’s Heaven Tonight coupled with non stop touring, Cheap Trick gained an unanticipated hit with At Budokan, a live album that went international.
They found success with Lap of Luxury and its popular single “The Flame.” However, after ditching the major labels with Cheap Trick (1997), the band rode a second wave of creativity, only strengthening their formula on-stage and in the studio. This resulted in Rockford (2006) and Bang, Zoom, Crazy… Hello (2016). After being elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, they rolled out a productive streak that delivered three albums within a short 18 months, and while touring was first and foremost for a while, they get back into the studio to produce album In Another World (2021). Their specific sound has not yet failed them as all their productions have had amazing success.
