Hellion

Los Angeles heavy metal band Hellion was founded in 1982 by vocalist Ann Boleyn, a willful and charismatic character whose singing abilities were inferior to her drive as an entrepreneur and talent for self-promotion. Boleyn managed to ensure that her band would enjoy quite a bit of notoriety, and even some measure of commercial success, throughout the '80s, despite their relatively infrequent and wildly inconsistent output, highlighted by 1987's Screams in the Night and 1990's The Black Book LP. Boleyn resurrected the band, which was inactive during most of the '90s, in 1999. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
