Hard Meat was a British progressive rock group active between 1969 and 1971.[1] The band was formed by the Birmingham-born brothers Michael Dolan (1947–2014)[2][3] (guitar, lead vocals) and Steve Dolan (1948–2000)[4] (bass, vocals), with drummer Mick (variously Mike) Carless.[5]
The trio's debut single was a cover of the Beatles' "Rain" b/w "Burning Up Years" on the Island label in 1969. This was followed by two albums released by Warner Bros in 1970: Hard Meat and Through a Window. Their second single (culled from the latter album) was "The Ballad of Marmalade Emma and Teddy Grimes,"[6] based on the life of two well-known Colchester tramps.[7][8] Despite tours of Europe[9] and the U.S.,[10][11] neither album saw chart success, and the group disbanded shortly afterwards.
New Zealand band The Human Instinct covered "Burning Up Years" on their 1969 debut album of the same name.
