Stratus (originally "Clive Burr's Escape", then briefly known as "Tygon" and "Stratas"), was a short-lived English melodic hard rock supergroup.[1] It was formed by ex-Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr, the Troy brothers from then-inactive Praying Mantis; plus ex-Grand Prix vocalist Bernie Shaw and keyboardist Alan Nelson.[1] The band split after only one album, Throwing Shapes, released in 1985.[1] Bernie Shaw became the lead vocalist for Uriah Heep the following year.[1]
The track "Run for Your Life" was featured on the soundtrack to the movie, Class of Nuke 'Em High.
