The British psychedelic blues-rock band Steamhammer was formed in late 1968 by Martin Quittenton (guitar), Kieran White (vocals, harmonica, guitar), Martin Pugh (guitar), Steve Davy (bass) and Michael Rushton (drums) Their first album "Reflections" (AKA "Junior's Wailing") was released in 1969 released. Pete Sears played piano on this album before joining Rod Stewart's band, with whom he recorded the former Faces singer's four early classic Mercury albums. Martin Pugh also played on Rod Stewart's first solo album, "The Rod Stewart Album" (AKA "An Old Raincoat Would Never Let You Down"), along with Ron Wood, Mickey Waller, Martin Quittenton and Keith Emerson. After "Reflections," both Quittenton and Rushton left the band and were replaced by Mick Bradley (drums) and Steve Joliffe (saxophone, flute), who gave the band a slightly jazzy influence on their second album, "Mk. II" (1969)
