The Australian hard rock band, the Angels, have released thirteen studio albums, four live albums, eight extended plays and forty-six singles. The Angels were formed in Adelaide in 1974 by the Brewster brothers, John and Rick, together with Bernard "Doc" Neeson. The line-up of the band has since gone through numerous changes with Rick as the mainstay member. They are known as Angel City internationally (to avoid confusion with 70s glam-rock band Angel.)
At the ARIA Music Awards of 1998 The Angels were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.
