The Rockford, Ill. quartet quickly established themselves in the late '70s as the undisputed titans of power pop.

Just days after Heart's recent cancellation of their SeaWorld performance in light of the controversial documentary 'Blackfish,' Cheap Trick have joined a growing number of artists who have placed the marine-animal theme park on their s--t lists.

During their 40 years as a band, Cheap Trick have been on the road more than they have been at home. And 2014 looks to be shaping up in much the same way.

The members of Cheap Trick have fired back against a lawsuit that was recently filed by their exiled drummer, Bun E. Carlos.

Long-simmering tensions between the current members of Cheap Trick and the band's absentee drummer, Bun E. Carlos, appear to be boiling over into the courtroom.

Two years after the stage collapsed in the middle of Cheap Trick's concert at the Ottawa Bluesfest, the band has filed suit against multiple parties involved in the festival, seeking $1 million in compensation.

Their third album kept the pop shine but added some grit to the mix.

Worn out your vinyl copy of Cheap Trick's legendary 1978 'At Budokan?' Here's a chance to make new memories, as the band presents the same exact set twice in celebration of the concert's 35th anniversary.

Cheap Trick and Pat Benatar + Neil Giraldo will be teaming up for a run of US concert dates this summer, in what should prove to be a can't miss evening.

Anthrax has released a fourth song from their upcoming album of classic rock covers called 'Anthems.' The group revealed a version of 'Big Eyes' by Cheap Trick for fans to enjoy. The entire album will be available on March 19 in the United States and on March 22 in Europe.

More sounds from the upcoming 'Sound City Reel to Reel' album have been released. Rocker and film director Dave Grohl has teamed with Slipknot's Corey Taylor, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick and bassist Scott Reeder to create 'From Can to Can't,' a soaring rock ballad that will transcend one back to 2002 when everything on the radio was thick with heartache power chords and thin on melody.

With a cachet like Cheap Trick has, it's not frequent that they open for other bands, but the group just signed on for another leg of dates supporting Aerosmith and that suggests that camaraderie has eclipsed billing in terms of importance for the veteran rockers.
