Bonham (band)

Bonham were a late 1980s British hard rock band founded by drummer Jason Bonham, the son of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. In 1990, their debut album, The Disregard of Timekeeping topped the rock airplay charts and the success of the single, "Wait for You", helped Bonham garner a gold record. The band toured extensively for 2 years, but the impact of such early success on its young members caused a great deal of internal friction. After a lengthy tour, Bonham released their second, and last album together, Mad Hatter. Jason decided to concentrate on session work and writing new music. In 1994, Jason re-united with Ian Hatton and John Smithson from his former band, this time featuring new lead vocalist Marti Frederiksen. The new line-up was known as Motherland. They released one album titled Peace 4 Me.

On March 16, 2008 lead singer Danial MacMaster died at the age of 39 from a staph infection.
