Their big song I guess was ‘Screaming In The Night’

And I personally always had fun with ‘Long Stick Goes Boom’, probably because I have the eternal maturity of a 16 year old

I remember Krokus, love Screaming In The Night and Midnight Maniac.
They should have collaborated on a certain song with a certain group and it could have been Hocus Pocus by Focus and Krokus

I remember them well. They were a Swiss band whose lead singer Marc Storace sounded much like Bon Scott and AC/DC, and their early song "Long Stick Goes Boom" imitated AC/DC as well. They were popular for their cover of BTO's "Stayed Awake All Night" and were huge in the 80's for "Screaming In the Night", "Our Love", "Eat the Rich", "Midnight Maniac", and a cover of "Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet.
There was a falling out between the band and Dee Snider of Twisted Sister when he became angry at the band for rejecting his wife's costume designs for the band's onstage outfits. The band said that her suits for them looked more like clown outfits, which enraged Snider, but the band said they meant no disrespect to him nor his wife and wanted to settle the matter amicably.
The band is currently on a delayed farewell tour.

Krokus is a hard rock/heavy metal band from Switzerland. Krokus was founded in Solothurn in 1974. There is not one original member left in the band.
I heard of them but don't remember hearing any of their songs on the radio. I tried listening to the ones above but they don't sound familiar. Yeah, Long Stick Goes Boom sounds exactly like Bon Scott, so much so, I wouldn't have believed it wasn't him if I hadn't read it here.
