These are going through my ears this week:
SAXON- UNLEASH THE BEAST.
Its Saxon. Enough said.
RAINBOW- STRAIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES
Great songs by the man in black. With Roger Glover in the production chair you can’t go wrong.
KING KOBRA- KING KOBRA
80’s hard rock from a couple of years ago that sounds like 80’s hard rock. The good kind. Paul Shortino on vocals.
OVERKILL- THE ELECTRIC AGE
I put this on if I need to get home quickly.
THUNDER- BACKSTREET SYMPHONY
Loved by Kerrang in the late 80’s . Big riffs, big choruses topped off with Danny Bowes wonderful voice. Bluesy hard rock at its finest. Not being American hurt them in the end. Mostly retired now but are opening for Whitesnake and Journey on their upcoming European tour.
and finally……
VINNIE VINCENT INVASION- ALL SYSTEMS GO
I love some of the stuff on this. Mark Slaughter hits notes only a dog could hear. All that is good and bad about hair metal, sometimes in the same song. The less said about the band group shot the better.
