The Story

Formed1967OriginUnited KingdomGenrepsychedelic rock, folk rockLabelReprise Records, Fat Possum Records, Fly RecordsMembersMarc Bolan, Jack Green

With a sound that crackled like electric energy and lyrics dripping with whimsy, T. Rex emerged from the vibrant streets of the UK in 1967, led by the charismatic Marc Bolan. Originally venturing into the realms of acoustic psychedelic and folk rock, Bolan soon cranked up the volume, steering the band towards a bold electric sound. This metamorphosis was encapsulated in their self-titled album, marking their transition to T. Rex. With hits like “Bang a Gong (Get It On)” and the iconic “Ride a White Swan,” they became trailblazers of the glam rock scene. T. Rex's music invites you to dance, dream, and embrace the glittering chaos of the 1970s, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of rock.
