Spontaneous Combustion (Band)

Spontaneous Combustion were an English progressive rock power trio, active in the 1970s. The band consisted of Gary Margetts on guitar and lead vocals, his brother Tristiam "Tris" Margetts on bass guitar, and drummer Tony Brock. Spontaneous Combustion released two albums, Spontaneous Combustion (1972) and Triad (1973), both produced by Greg Lake of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. After drummer Tony Brock left the band, the Margetts later released a third Spontaneous Combustion album under the name "Time," as they were legally unable to use their former band name, as a four-piece with Jode Leigh (drums, percussion, vocals), and Alec Jonson (guitar, vocals). Their sole self-titled album was released on BASF's Buk Records label. Tris Margetts was later a mamber of Greg Lake's solo band in 1981, and played on his Chrysalis albums "Greg Lake" (1981) and "Manoeuvres" (1983), and was also part of his touring band. Tony Brock has worked with Rod Stewart and been a member of the bands Strider and The Babys.
