The Herd were an English rock band, founded in 1965. In 1966, 16-year-old Peter Frampton joined as lead singer and guitarist. The band had three UK top twenty hits in the late 1960s, including "From the Underworld" and "I Don't Want Our Loving to Die", before Frampton left in 1968 to form Humble Pie with Steve Marriott. The band broke up shortly after, reforming briefly and unsuccessfully in 1971.
Links to Peel[]
Peel was initially enthusiastic about the band, to the point of him and his producer agreeing that they should do a session for his show, which they did in 1967. However, by the time the band initially split in 1969, he rarely played any material from them.
