Seduce is an American heavy metal band formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1980.
They are best known for their appearance in Penelope Spheeris’ cult music documentary film The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years.[1]
History
Seduce was formed in 1980 when Andrews and Black, initially playing in a band called Sparks, met Burns through mutual friends.[2] The band released their self-titled debut in 1985 and released their second album, Too Much Ain't Enough, in 1988.[1][3] Seduce performed with Accept, Saxon, Girlschool, Iggy Pop, and Vinnie Vincent Invasion around this time. After issues with their record label and lineup changes in the band, Seduce broke up in 1991. The members would go on to play in other bands such as Speedball, the Skeemin' Nogoods, Universal Temple of Divine Power, Heresy, Crud, the Shakey Jakes, and Negative Approach. Seduce reformed in 2002 and has been consistently performing one-off reunion shows since then.[2][4][5]
Musical style and influences
Seduce's musical style has been described as heavy metal and hard rock. Some of the bands that Seduce was influenced by include Motörhead, Van Halen, Alice Cooper, Discharge, the New York Dolls, the Sweet, and Led Zeppelin.[1][2]
