About
The Alarm are a Welsh rock band that formed in Rhyl in 1981. Initially formed as a punk band, the Toilets, in 1977 under lead vocalist Mike Peters, the group soon embraced arena rock and included marked influences from Welsh language and culture. By opening for acts such as U2 and Bob Dylan, they became a popular new wave pop band of the 1980s.
The Alarm's highest-charting single in Britain is 1983's "Sixty Eight Guns", which reached number 17 on the UK Singles Chart. Their 1984 album Declaration, which contained "Sixty Eight Guns", peaked at number six on the UK Albums Chart.

The Alarm est un groupe rock alternatif britannique fondé à Rhyl (Pays de Galles) en 1977 sous le nom de « The Toilets ». C'est en 1981 que le groupe adopte le nom de The Alarm en hommage au groupe U2. Le groupe est composé par Mike Peters (guitare et chant), Dave Sharp (guitare), Eddie MacDonald (Basse) et Nigel Twist (batterie). Mis en sommeil pendant plus de douze ans, le groupe revient en 2004 avec un nouvel album studio : In the Poppy Fields. Entre 1991 et le début des années 2000, Mike Peters and Dave Sharp font une carrière solo.
