Sky Riders (band)

Sky Riders are an American-Canadian hair metal band formed in Bellingham, Massachusetts in 1982 by Zachary Spree and Sean Adams.

History
Zachary Spree was in an collegiate a-cappella group at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester for a while, and grew tired of that, so he left the group and decided to try out metal music. He met Sean Adams, and began hiring members, including bassist Melquíades de Jesús, a native of Fitchburg, and saxophonist Andrea Schwartz, a Canadian high school student from Toronto. The band signed to RKO Records and recorded their first album, Legends of the Sky Riders, in 1983, and released it the same year.
