About CHOIRBOYS
CHOIRBOYS formed in Sydney in 1979 around singer Mark Gable and guitarist Brad Carr, and spent their early years on the city's pub circuit playing loud, straightforward hard rock. An early single, 'Never Gonna Die', gave them their first radio exposure.
'Run to Paradise' came from the album Big Bad Noise and became one of the most played Australian rock songs of its era, a story of youthful drift set to a big, chanted chorus. The band still plays the pub and club circuit, with Gable's strained upper register at the centre of the sound.
