Force is a hard rock/AOR "band" from Birmingham, England, United Kingdom. Actually Force wasn't a band - the NWOBHM band behind the one and only studio album is actually called Cryer and the album from 1984 was released by Heavy Metal Records after Cryer had split up in 1983. There's some speculation, why Heavy Metal Records released the album after the split and used a different name for it.
