Hurricane is an American heavy metal band formed in 1985. The original line-up featured singer Kelly Hansen (pre-Unruly Child & Foreigner), guitarist Robert Sarzo (ex-Ozzy Osbourne), bassist Tony Cavazo (ex-SNOW) and drummer Jay Schellen (pre-Unruly Child & Yes). Tony and Robert are the brothers of Quiet Riot's Carlos Cavazo and Rudy Sarzo.[3]

Hurricane released five albums: Take What You Want (1985), Over the Edge (1988), Slave to the Thrill (1990), Liquifury (2001) and Reconnected (2023). Over the Edge was their most successful album featuring their only charting song, "I'm on to You", which peaked at No. 33 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1988.[4]
