Dire Straits is a British rock group, will be formed by Mark Knopfler (vocals, guitar), younger brother David Knopfler (rhythm guitar and vocals), John Illsley (bass) and Pick Withers (drums) and managed by Ed Bicknell, active between 1977 and 1995. Even though the band was formed in a time when punk rock was in the lead, Dire Straits played a more conventional, albeit with a stripped-down sound that overproduced the public tired of the actionstadium rock of the 1970s. In its early days, Mark and David requested that the landlord down their sound so that he could entertain patrons while the band played, an indication of their modest appearance. Even this high content of rock and roll, Dire Straits soon became very successful with their first album going multi-platinum worldwide.
