Angel

The Profile

Angel are an American hard rock band formed in the 1970s, known for all-white stage outfits and melodic, keyboard-driven songs. Signed to Casablanca Records, they released a string of albums from 1975 to 1980 and disbanded in 1981.

Recognized as a cult American hard rock group with a white-clad, androgynous image; early albums praised for melodic power and keyboards. Key members cited in reviews include Frank DiMino (vocals), Punky Meadows (guitar), Greg Giuffria (keyboards), and Barry Brandt (drums). Associated with Kiss’s orbit on Casablanca Records; disbanded in 1981.

Reviews praise Angel’s 1975 debut for melodic hard rock with flashy keys and memorable riffs, and salute the 1980 live album’s energy. Critics highlight their cult status, white-clad image, and a sound sitting between hard rock and pomp touches. Early records are singled out as their peak, with later work shifting toward a glammier sheen. The band disbanded in 1981 after the live release.
