West Midlands 70s Hard Rock act TITAN started life as HOI POLLOI, taking on the TITAN title during 1979. The group cut a four track demo and self-finced a 7" single. Only 100 copies of 'East Wind / West Wind' were pressed. With the band's demise vocalist Rocky Shades (a.k.a. Robert Berkeley) founded high profile Glam Rock band WRATHCHILD. He would also serve a tenure with Punk band DISCHARGE. Guitarist Maz Mitrenko joined Birmingham's HANDSOME BEASTS. Subsequently, Mitrenko joined PSYCHO WARD, the band forged by ex-LONDON, MADAM X, HURRICANE and SHY vocalist John Ward.
