Rockhead was a Canadian hard rock group established in 1991 in Vancouver by guitarist and producer Bob Rock.
History
In 1991, renowned music producer Bob Rock assembled Rockhead, recruiting drummer Chris Taylor, singer Steve Jack, and bassist Jamey Koch, all musicians from the Vancouver, British Columbia area. The lineup was completed by keyboardist John Webster. Their first single release was "Heartland." Bob Rock took on production duties for their eponymous album, which came out in 1992 under the Capitol Records label. This record included guest performances from artists affiliated with Bon Jovi, The Cult, and Little Caesar. Following the album, singles such as "Bed of Roses" and "Chelsea Rose" were issued, accompanied by a supporting tour where they opened for Bon Jovi. Despite these promotional activities, the album did not achieve significant commercial success, resulting in the band's dissolution as Rock shifted focus back to his production career.
