[edit] Band Biography

The band started off as a heavy-blues act much in the style of Led Zeppelin. With the arrival of Peart in 1974, Rush started working towards their instantly recognizable blend of instrumental acrobatics and sci-fi/fantasy lyrics. Despite still getting airplay on classic rock radio and having a massive leigon of hardcore fans, Rush still isn't a critic's band. Their seventeenth studio album, Vapor Trails was released in 2002.
