History

Seduce was formed in 1980 when Andrews and Black, initially playing in a band called Sparks, met Burns through mutual friends. The band released their self-titled debut in 1985 and released their second album, Too Much Ain't Enough, in 1988. Seduce performed with Accept, Saxon, Girlschool, Iggy Pop, and Vinnie Vincent Invasion around this time. After issues with their record label and lineup changes in the band, Seduce broke up in 1991. The members would go on to play in other bands such as Speedball, the Skeemin' Nogoods, Universal Temple of Divine Power, Heresy, Crud, and the Shakey Jakes. Seduce reformed in 2002 and has been consistently performing one-off reunion shows since then.

Musical style and influences

Seduce's musical style has been described as heavy metal, power metal, and hard rock. Some of the bands that Seduce was influenced by include Motörhead, Van Halen, Alice Cooper, Discharge, the New York Dolls, the Sweet, and Led Zeppelin.
