A forgotten AOR/Hard Rock band with a forgotten album, their only one. Do not get excited by the band members and their pedigree. It has not much to do Heavy Metal or simple Hard Rock but more in the vein of Journey with a British signature.
This album was not marketed for the UK but more for mainland Europe through a Belgian record company (Steel Trax) and it was also released in Japan. It was re-released in 2008 by the Krescendo label.

Interestingly...fans of low budget independent gore/comdies might recognize one of the songs (Run For Your Life) off this album as being one of the more frequent soundtrack items from the 1986 Troma classic 'Class Of Nuke 'Em High.'

I knew that it existed, but this is the first time that I see it ... thanks a lot. I'm curious what they sound like, I know it's AOR, but maybe it's still worthwile to listen to !
