Chrome (band)

Chrome was a post-punk musical group. At its core, Chrome consisted of Helios Creed (guitar) and Damon Edge (Drums and synthesizers), although it was formed by Gary Spain (bass, guitar, vocals) and Edge in 1976. At that time the band also included Gary Lambdin (vocals, guitar and bass) and Mike Low (guitar, synth, and bass). After the first LP, The Visitation, Low and Lambdin left, and after the second LP, Alien Soundtracks, Spain became increasingly less involved with the band.

When they split the band up, Damon Edge continued on with the name, playing with the 1995, of heart failure.

After Damon's death, Helios picked up the name and began releasing new material.
