Polyrock Biography
The New York-based new wave band Polyrock formed in the late '70s with a lineup including vocalist Catherine Oblasney, guitarists Billy Robertson and Tommy Robertson, drummer Joseph Yannece, and keyboard player Lenny Aaron. The group signed with RCA by 1980 and delivered their eponymous debut album that same year. Changing Hearts followed in 1981, but Polyrock was broken up by 1982. ROIR released the retrospective No Love Lost in 1986. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
