"We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France. We shall fight on the seas and oceans. We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender!" *
* Sir Winston Churchill, House of Commons, June 4, 1940.

Formed in November of 2006, "UP THE IRONS!" is Southeastern United States' ultimate Iron Maiden tribute band, home-based in the state of North Carolina. In trying to stay true to the harmonic/melodic 2-guitar combo sound uniquely developed by the dynamic Dave Murray & Adrian Smith duo, the band covers Maiden circa 1980 to 1988 mostly, delivering the same intensity, excellent musicianship, inimitable stage props, audio/visual effects and professionalism that only a band like Iron Maiden can provide. "UP THE IRONS!" brings you the ultimate Iron Maiden experience live, up close and personal!
