アメリカのロック・バンド。激しいヴォーカル、ブラスが大きくミックスされたバンド・サウンド、・・・Blood Sweat & Tears 系統のバンドです。ヴォーカルもクレイトン・トーマスそっくり。かなりカッコ良いです。

The Ides of March are an American rock band that had a major US and minor UK hit with the song "Vehicle" in 1970. After going on hiatus in 1973, the band returned with their original line-up in 1990 and has been active since then

Having secured a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records, in 1970 the band released the track "Vehicle," which allegedly became the fastest selling single in Warner's history. Fourteen seconds of the completed "Vehicle" master tape (primarily the guitar solo) was accidentally erased in the recording studio. The missing section was spliced in from a previously discarded take.

The song reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #6 on the corresponding Cash Box listings. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc in November 1972. The following album, Vehicle, reached #55 nationally.

Vehicle is the debut studio album by The Ides of March, released in 1970. The single and title of the album, "Vehicle", became the fastest selling single in Warner's history.
