Vitamin Z was a British pop rock band formed in 1982 by vocalist Geoff Barradale and bassist Nick Lockwood. Known for their synthesizer-heavy sound and emotive lyrics, they achieved moderate success in the mid-1980s, particularly with their debut album "Rites of Passage" featuring the hit single "Burning Flame". Barradale's distinctive vocals and the band's incorporation of saxophone into their synth-pop sound set them apart. Despite their limited discography, Vitamin Z contributed to the new wave trend in the '80s music scene.
