In May 1973 an unsuspecting world listened in awe as Bourge unleashed the riff to Budgie's Breadfan � a song later covered by Metallica. Forty years on, the hugely underrated six-stringer has a new 20-track album named Crank It Up � released under the moniker of Anthony Bourge.

Crank It Up contains a wide variety of styles, from riff-based rockers reminiscent of the metal Bourge forged with Budgie, to songs and instrumentals steeped in the blues, to ethereal pop numbers.
