Not a Band people talk about on here.. I was listening to Hair Nation Deep Cuts and this came on.. Very well produced indeed. They don't make records that sound like this anymore..
A young Craig Goldy putting down advanced chops on this for 1984! Singer has tons of energy and sings his ass off on this. In the vein of Journey.
Maybe U enjoy?







This for the stacked 80's hook.

 
Bought the record when it came out. Listened to it....meh.

Compared to what was coming out at same time, it was not competitive....imho

I am a fan of this record and dig the synth tones on it mostly. Yes - it did not do as well as the better stuff out at the time but I think it has aged well and is a nice find if you want something not played out to death from that era.
 
I like this band. Insane talent but the best is when they have the fans going and blowing the hair in the videos !!! Got to love the 80's.
 
I think I saw the same tour opening for Deep Purple. I did not think they were very good, but then again I was in the audience and they were up there.

Well put. That's how I feel in that it's not new to ME, but has the sound of the day. It brings me back..
 
Way too heavy on the keys and somewhat generic for me I'm afraid. I can see why it was buried among the other more successful acts of that time.
 
Not the best name for a band but Greg Guiffria was the one with some history at that point being from the band Angel. And of course the bass player, Chuck Wright was in the band Dubrow, which was rebranded Quiet Riot, he recorded several bass part tracks for the Metal Health album before being replaced by Rudy Sarzo who wanted back in the band post Ozzy.

Well produced album but the guitars should have been way louder in the mix, keys are too dominant which IMO lends itself to being generic. I actually liked Goldy as a player at this point.

David Glen Eisley, the singer's most famous song was this from Spongebob. How's that for some useless trivia lol.

They had a minor hit with this song. Good song.
Can't believe it was 1984. It seems more late 80's. I guess they were ahead of the big hair curve!

He had the big hair in the '70s in Angel. He made a fortune in software for gambling slot machines IIRC
