Band originally released in 1988 finally gets a facelift and digitally remastered audio!! This is true 80's commercial rock with a foot in Glam and the other in AOR -- with hooks galore, plenty of big vocals and smokin' guitar work, this once elusive CD deserves a spot in any rock music collection!!
Kid Cyote - Animal Lust 1990 (Hair Metal) US
9:28
Kid Cyote was a Texas band based out of Dallas/Fort Worth. All great guys - another incarnation of them is "Sly Wolf" - don't know if Sly Wolf did any recordings though. I do remember they made a video which may be floating out there somewhere. Mikel Scott is now in Auralast (Michael Anast)-- www.auralast.com - They are a band based out of Arizona. If the other guys are still playing, I don't know about it.TVAN
Uttaro The Edge Of My Life 1993 (Hard Rock) US
8:42
THIS IS A GREAT CD FROM THE FORMER SPREAD EAGLE SINGER.
In your face, full throttle rock with a ton of attitude & a great raw sound on this puppy. There are two instrumental tunes here, tracks #3 & #6. With the exception of track #6, you can pick this up & prepare to be rocked hard.(Remastered Reason)
Akela - Nasty Reputation 1990 (Melodic Hard Rock) US
16:10
Another short-lived hard rock band coming from Beaumont, appeared on “Star Search” twice (winning at least once) although Jay Hollander was their vocalist at that time. It seems like they were caught between both a Hard Rock image (earlier) and more of a later-90’s Glam image later. This 8-song full-length album/demo came out in 1990 through Hobo Records while the song “Rock Candy” is a cover from Montrose. The album having strong melodies, great hooks and very catchy songs with solid musicianship (incredible vocalist and guitarist!) and fantastic production. The main problem here is their musical direction that was becoming more unclear as time was wearing on. In any case this one is also hyper rare for die hard collectors.(MR.COM)

Dancer - Liquor in the Front [Demo] 1991 (Hard Rock) US
15:47
California based band acted in the early 90s but never got the chance to got a record deal. They had strong songwriting, nice stage performance and big fan base. They play in many local clubs include Gazzarris and Whiskey a Go Go among others. Excellent song writing with a mad ax-man who can really shread when he wants to.
