The Next Band

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Next Band were a trio featuring Def Leppard's second drummer Frank Noon.

John Lockton and Frank Noon were later in a band called Wild Horses with Rainbow and Dio bassist Jimmy Bain. (This wasn't the same Wild Horses that former Warrant members Rick Steier and James Kottak were in.)

Rocky Newton and Frank Noon were later in the band Lionheart with former Iron Maiden guitarist Dennis Stratton.

John Lockton was later in the band Victory, with whom he played on their self-titled album.

Rocky Newton is credited as a guest backing vocalist on the Victory album Culture Killed The Native, though by that time John Lockton was no longer in the band.

The Next Band released the Four By Three EP. (Four songs by three people.)
