Brutus

Formed in Toronto in 1969 by organist/vocalist Walter Zwolinsky (aka Zwol), Brutus gradually included guitarist Sonny Wingay, bassist Sandy White, drummer Len Sembaluk, Bruce Gordon (trumpet, organ, guitar, bass) and Bill Robb (saxophone, trombone). After two early singles, the band signed to GRT and released a self-titled debut in 1975. The band broke up not long after, but Zwol pursued a solo career in the late '70s and later formed the band Rage. ~ John Bush
