Chariot was a solid heavy metal band from London which was signed to and managed by one Mike Shannon owner of London's heavy metal record store Shades. Chariot had a good support from the UK press and radio, but went nowhere due to a lack of image and overseas promotion. Two band members went on to play in Charge which was later called Outland and then renamed again.
Dirty Deeds was managed by Iron Maiden's Steve Harris, but suffered from the same challenge as Chariot! Harris eventually let the band go on without him.
Majestic Records re-released the band's two albums on CD in 2004.
The same year brought an album called What Goes Around which was a collection of unreleased material destined for album number three. As a bonus the disc featured a full and unedited Marquee live show.
