Triumph - Air Raid/Allied Forces

[@kitexscape]

People today don’t even know what music we lived with back in the 80’s.

[@kennethbidlingmayer604]

Fond memory of myself and 3 fellow sailors (1981), got a little toasted and we're listening to Air Raid on a good quality boon box. Stationed on a DDG in Mayport, FL near Jacksonville Really made an enjoyable lasting memory.

I was 11 years old when I heard this for the first time in 1982 over some killer old school 70's headphones with the fat, curly cord that was like 3 miles long. I solely attribute this song to making me a life long metalhead. Thank you for posting this. Haven't heard it in 30+ years and it took me waaaaaay back.

[@kitexscape]

Me too. It was awesome.

The best band out of Canada 🇨🇦

[@Darth.Fluffy]

Those other guys were OK. But Triumph was the shit.

[@tayhutt]

Great song, great album. My big sister had this album on vinyl when it was new. I grew up listening to stuff like this, Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden. Thank god my sis wasn't into abba or something like that. This is the type of music that inspired me to play the guitar and travel to see bands and meet cool people. Hearing this song makes me very happy.

This should have been the hit single for 1981 top 40

[@2021ruber]

most of the time , the best stuff of great bands , even underrated great bands like Triumph, is not their hits.

[@werewolf7958]

[@kenporich2006]

This is probably my 2nd favorite piece by Triumph (Ordinary Man is 1st) This song is nothing but raw power!!

[@roccomarchegiano5990]

One helluvva tune!

[@Grizzed556]

Agreed

[@Darth.Fluffy]

This, Pieces of Eight, Hair of the Dog, Draw the Line, Left Overture, Foghat Live..... Pretty much my teen years.

[@ziskokid1]

Have this on vinyl....too bad they broke up way to soon.

[@AndyKusanagi86]

this is fucking cool, don't know why i haven't heard the band before.

[@arsenalxa4421]

This song pairs very well with Command & Conquer Red Alert 2.

[@zoso4rune504]

I saw them with Foghat. Accompanied by a couple PM dot's. See how many people here are old enough to know what means.

@Andrey kusanagi, sadly i dont think triumph is very widely known outside of canada. (Least i dont believe so)

[@shaneinkster]

The only place snowing outside Canada I think you're known in the US

[@mxbones8806]

I am from the US and my friends and I constantly cranked Triumph. I saw them at the US festival in 83. One of the best sets of the weekend.

[@skipwilbur7400]

as an American, let me state for the record, this band was great & a lot of us rocked out to them, back in the day! So cheers, my Canadian cousin, for producing such a kick ass band! xoxo! (side note: I love the Canadians & the music of my music Godz, Rush!!!!)

[@ericunderwood6728]

R Bones Hey I was at the US festival I was the guy everybody was hanging onto when I looked down at my friend Billy he was about to pass out due to hear exhaustion when Ozzy was playing we were center stage about 13 people back from the stage I told him grab ahold of the back of my pants with Both hands and no matter what happens don't let go! So I put my head down hard exit stage left .... I was mowing people aside by the time we got out in the clear Billy has like 50 people hanging on to him....Yeah ... no shit....that was me!;.
