Band/Artist: The Terrible Strait

Style: album Rock Pop/Rock.

The horror channel 1976 was established in Detford, southwest London. The band appeared at the peak of punk music, but it had nothing in common with this movement, and finally won the title of mainstream rock band. They have sold many records all over the world, and their success is mainly attributed to Mark Knopfler's guitar performance (born on1August 2, 949 12), a unique singer and guitarist influenced by Dylan, and also the core figure of the band.

Novler didn't start his music career until he was 28 or 29. Before that, he worked in two professions (journalist and teacher). During this period, he absorbed many musical influences [the most famous ones are Dylan, Bob and J.J. Kyle] and his song writing and guitar playing skills were completely mature, which played a great role in the early acceptance of the "Strait of Terror" by various music groups.

After combining with his brothers David (guitarist) and John Illsley (bassist), Novler added drummer Pique Withers to the cast, and they began to hold some small performances in the joint organization of London Hotel. Finally, they spent 120 recording a demo tape, including their later classic song "Sultans of Swing", which was played on the program of Charlie Geller, the host of Radio London. As a result, record companies flocked to sign with the band. 1978, they signed a contract with a record company to record the song "King of Swing" and a record "Strait of Terror". Although critics appreciate its flashy expert style, British fans seldom pay attention to it. However, this record is more in line with the tastes of American rock fans, so it is easier to play radio songs than most records from Britain at that time. In a blink of an eye, they had a song and a record that was popular in America.

This success was repeated in other places, including returning to Britain, where the song ranked ninth on the charts and fifth on the album ... After that, "Strait of Terror" quickly became a rock band with great achievements in the world. The album Bulletin published by 1979 is almost the same as the previous records, and it also sells well all over the world. After the release of this record, David left the band and started his personal development. 1980 The third album, Making a Movie, brought a fresher sound to this record by Roy Bittan from Springsteen's "E Street" band. Making movies has achieved considerable success in Britain and America, although critics criticized their music for being too slow. However, this album still won a gold record, in which Romeo and Juliet and Skateaway became popular songs on radio and MTV. 1980 tour, guitarist Hal Lindes and keyboard player Allen Clark also joined the band.

Meanwhile, Mark Knopfler's reputation as a guitarist continues to grow. He left the band for a while to work with Bob Dylan and the steely Dan. So it took a long time to publish the fourth album "Love Gold" on 1992. This record was made by Novler himself and sold more than previous records. This album is full of lengthy and experimental works. The single "Private Survey" won the second place in the UK charts, became the first album in the UK charts, and became a gold record in the United States. Shortly after the album was published, Terry Williams replaced Withers as drummer. At this time, Novler began to explore new ways of music outside the "Strait of Terror", and made music for the film "Country Hero, Carl and Comfort and Joy", which appeared in Morrison's album. Except for the EP album "Twisting by the Pool" published by 1983, The Strait of Terror was in a state of extinction for most of the two years from 1983 to 1984. During this period, Mark Knopfler produced the album "Pagan" for Bob Dylan. Tina's comeback album created a private dancer and made a recording knife for the Aztec camera. 1984 In the spring, the band released a double album Alchemy. At the end of this year, the band entered the recording studio to record their fifth album and added a new member, keyboard player Guy Fletcher. Paoze was officially published in the summer of 1985, and it is a breakthrough album of Straits of Terror. Ironically, one of the songs mocking music videos, Money for Nothing, actually became a hit song with the help of MTV TV, ranking in the top 65,438 in the national charts. In Britain, this album was also the highest-selling album in the 1980s. Walking Life and So Far kept the albums on the charts until 1986. To promote this album, the band held nearly 200 performances. Subsequently, Mark Knopfler produced an album for Newman (Randy) and Joan Amar Trade, participated in the tour of eric clapton (Eric), and collaborated with chet atkins on the album "neck and neck". 1989 formed a country rock band "Nodding Hillbilly" and published an album "Missing" ... assuming that the next year "had a good time".

After a series of personal activities, Mark Knopfler picked up the Channel of Terror again at 1990. The main members at this time are easley, Clark, Fletcher and some professional musicians. 199 1 year, the new album "On Every Street" was published in people's expectation, but unfortunately, this album did not become a platinum album in the United States as people expected, and the top 40 lotus charts did not go in, not even a hit song. Similarly, their tours are disappointing, and their tickets for European and American tours are sometimes not sold at all. After this tour, the live album At Night was released. Do you know how to cure this disease? Novler released his 1 official album "Golden Heart" on 1996, but it didn't get much applause. Perhaps, the outstanding talents of the "Strait of Terror" and Mark Knopfler have gone forever with the passing of the 1980s.

From a commercial point of view, the Straits of Terror, especially Mark Knopfler, has proved that they are one of the most successful rock groups since the 1970s, and have sold nearly 20 million records all over the world. However, apart from the excellent record "King of Swing", the record "Channel of Terror" is usually criticized for its lack of excitement. People still suspect that Novler's talent is not high, just a craftsman.
