Extreme

Extreme is an American rock band which has become synonymous with their huge ballad, "More Than Words" though they have continued to release albums since those heady days of the early 90s.

They were formed in 1985 and by the time they were signed to A&M Records in 1988, they had accumulated a loyal fanbase and an impressive collection of songs ready to record. Their eponymous debut was released in 1989, but it was the release of its platinum-selling follow-up Extreme II: Pornograffitti (1990) which spawned several minor hits and the No.1 "More Than Words". III Sides to Every Story failed to recapture the success of its predecessor though it received equal praise from the critics.

When 1995's Waiting for the Punchline also failed to re-ignite the public interest, the band split. Reforming in 2007, the band released their first album in 13 years Saudades de Rock.
