Formed in 1984 by Irish rock icon Phil Lynott following the premature disbandment of the legendary Thin Lizzy, there was always a bit of the 'What if?'s when it came to Grand Slam. Composed of Lynott alongside past and future members of the likes of Magnum and UFO, Grand Slam absolutely had the potential for greatness, but fell apart by the sudden and unexpected passing of Lynott.
Despite having never even put out a studio album during their original run, the legacy of Grand Slam grew as the decades wore on, leading to a well received reunion run in 2016. In 2019, however, Grand Slam's comeback was made firmly official; original guitarist Laurence Archer led a new incarnation of the band to finally record their debut full-length LP, Hit The Ground, carrying forward the spirit of Phil Lynott and the feel of the band's early days while updating their sound for a new era.
