fuse

Fuse was an American rock band formed in Rockford, Illinois, in 1967, after Rick Nielsen proposed the merging of two local bands: The Grim Reapers and Toast and Jam. Managed by Ken Adamany, Fuse's line-up consisted of Rick Nielsen (keyboards/guitar), Joe Sundberg (vocals), Tom Petersson (bass guitar), Craig Myers (lead guitar), and Chip Greenman (drums/percussion). Members of the band later formed Cheap Trick.
