Like many of their New Wave of British Heavy Metal peers, Jaguar flourished during the early stages of the movement thanks to their gritty, do-it-yourself philosophy. But when the style’s initial momentum began to dwindle, leaving only a few enduring acts like Iron Maiden and Def Leppard still standing, Jaguar quickly faded into obscurity. Formed in Bristol, England, in 1979, Jaguar originally featured singer Rob Reiss, guitarist Garry Pepperd, bassist Jeff Cox, and drummer Chris Lovell. After a series of demos in 1980, the band signed with Heavy Metal Records, which featured the track “Stormchild” in its September 1981 Heavy Metal Heroes compilation, then issued their debut single, “Back Street Woman,” that November. Introducing the band’s “everything loud, fast, and raw” philosophy, the single was a respectable hit in underground metal circles, and earned them a small but loyal following in Holland, of all places. The arrival of new singer Paul Merrell in early 1982 and a new deal with NWOBHM flag-bearer Neat Records seemed to bode well for Jaguar’s future, and their following single (the very Maiden-ish, Kerrang! magazine favorite “Axe Crazy”) has become a collectors favourite.
