Armada were an English art-rock band that was active through several iterations between 1970 and 1974, at one point including ex-Velvet Opera/future-Stretch frontman Elmer Gantry. Though no album was released in the band’s lifetime, they issued a standalone single as Rimington in 1973 and another as Rats in 1974. A collection of the band’s recordings was ultimately released by archivists RPM in 2011.
