The Canadian rock band Rush was formed in August 1968. Original band members were: Jeff Jones – bass, lead vocals (summer 1968-September 1968), Alex Lifeson – six and twelve-string acoustic and electric guitars, classical guitar, mandolin, mandola, Bouzouki, backing vocals, bass and synthesizer pedals (summer 1968-present), John Rutsey – drums, percussion, backing vocals (summer 1968–July 1974) and the replacement for Jeff Jones and John Rutsey are Geddy Lee – bass guitar, lead vocals, keyboards, mellotron, bass and synthesizer pedals, electric and acoustic rhythm guitar (September 1968-present) and Neil Peart – drums, electronic and acoustic percussion (July 1974–present).

Their first self-titled debut album was released in March 1974 under the influence of Led Zeppelin and The Who and later became the most selling debut. Over the years Rush has changed their style and has overflowed into hard rock and progressive rock and in recent time modern rock. The members of Rush have been acknowledged as the most proficient players on their instruments, bringing them awards. For the most consecutive gold and platinum albums by a rock band, Rush is the fifth band behind The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Kiss and Aerosmith. Currently the band is promoting their latest album, “Snakes & Arrows”.
