Streetwise - St. 1996 (Hard Rock) USA
Fans of hard-hitting bands like Suicide Circus, Widowmaker, or Barren Cross would be wise to get their hands on this rare indie, even if it costs 'em a few extra pennies. Powerful guitars, crunchy riffs, plenty of attitude, the expected gang vocals...they're all present & accounted for. Bottom line, if you're into this style of hard rock, you'd have to be a dummy not to add this to your collection... (Allen).TY Jstoyz!.Streetwise - St. 1996 (Hard Rock) USA

EXCELLENT GEM!!..Like!..Bricklin, Preview, Illusion..United Nations - The First Move 1985 + Demos (Melodic Rock) UK
Ye Hah! A UK (Stoke) band?! Bejesus! whats the world coming too? .. and the first song on this wee gem of an album is called "Sound Of The 1980's". What more could you ask for? A classic!? Steady on... not quite. How about Monro, Charlie, and Tobruck though... sound good? Check out the soundbyte below... and make up your own mind. I've only ever seen one copy of this, and it ain't mine, mores the pity. Written right at the very bottom of this album is "Two fingers in the air to Nauso-leum Records". I guess a certain record label failed to sign them. Their loss. Get trawling those record fairs and second hand shops, and if you see two copies... !United Nations - The First Move 1985 + Demos (Melodic Rock) UK

Highly recommended mini album from this canadian band.The first track "Gimme Love" is a lovely poppy AOR song,while "Leaving Me" is more pure AOR with great keys and a good refrain, reminds alot of Haywire/ Boulevard kind of AOR!"Heaven" is a good ballad. The two last songs are both really good AOR like Haywire.So I can really recommend this to those who like keyboard laden AOR with good vocals al'a Boulevard, Haywire, Worrall or Diamond in the rough.

Almost 70 minutes of female fronted classic US metal getting more melodic on the latter demos. So called American answer to WARLOCK, mixed with HEART and ROMEO'S DAUGHTER influences just to name a few. This is a collection of the 3 cassette tape EPs (1985, 1988, 1990) and 5-track demo 1992 which originally were released on the band's own label Danger Records in very limited quantities and available only locally in Bay Area.Thank You N.Master.Robyn Danger - Anthology 2009 (Heavy Metal) USA

The debut from this excellent German band, with a lead singer whose style is a lot like Paul Stanley from Kiss.

Excellent Swedish one off that had a melodic NWOBHM feel, reminiscent of early Praying Mantis. This album was released on vinyl and cd, with the latter format being particularly hard to pick up.Recommended!.(aor-fm)

Universe - Waiting For...1993 (Hard Rock) Germany
As far as EPs go, there are few I'd recommend over this one. I am a huge fan of these guys and think they're an excellent band, and this EP goes to prove what I think. After the killer melodic hard rock debut, this follow-up is a little more mellow and will appeal to AOR fans as well as melodic hard rockers. Excellent songs, perfectly played and I could not recommend this more. Great stuff!!! All songs are great.(Geoff)Universe - Waiting For...1993 (Hard Rock) Germany

The strangely named TX.Barryt, has become a much sought after cd album, commanding top dollar by dealers, worldwide. I believe this album was released circa 1994/95 in Germany, since I remember seeing their name down for performing at a concert in Berlin, arround that time. It is, blistering hard rock, very melodic, and has the feel of US bands like Flame, Babylon AD, and Firehouse. What more can I say, but, check out the sounds!It appears that the guys are recording new songs for 2008, watch this space. Also, if you wish to see an Mtv style video, check out their website via their page link here.Thank You Leec

Norwegian rockers Wild Side return in 2010 with their sophomore release, Speed Devil, with a new vocalist and second guitarist on board. Echoing the music that made the Sunset Strip famous in the 1980's, Wild Side could be the doppelganger, if not a curious imitation, of Motley Crue. Certainly, new singer Joachim Berntsen is cut out of the same cloth as Vince Neil. With eyes closed, you may wonder if the band didn't audition until the found that signature voice. Even the music is reminiscent of that era, generally, and Crue more specifically, especially on the songs Live Forever and Wild One.Thank You Jtoyz.Wild Side - Speed Devil 2010 (Melodic Hard Rock) Norway

Seraiah - Soldiers Of Jehovah - Demo 1988 (CCMHard Rock/Metal)
This version of Seraiah is VERY 80s hair metal. The riffs, the sound, the singer...it's really 80's, kinda cheesy, metal. The songs here are not that great, and it's no wonder they never showed up on a later album. The two Seraiah CDs were MUCH better than this demo. But it's nice to have and see where they came from.Thank You Darkwatcher.Seraiah - Soldiers Of Jehovah - Demo 1988 (CCMHard Rock/Metal)

Debut album from this hard rocking and excellent Finnish band. Note that the CD actually has 13 tracks even though the tracklistings in the artwork list just the first 11 tracks. I am guessing the band came up with a couple of tracks that were too good to leave off (and they are) but the small Poko label already had the artwork done. The CD indexing has the titles, fortunately. No matter, as Poko Rekords did us a great service including the last two rockin' tracks on this album.Thank You Fogkhat42.Horsepower - Virginity 1989 (Hard Rock) Finland

"BSA" first album was a hard edged pop rock with a couple of decent tunes and some nice guitar work. With "Some Like It Hot" came a change in image and sound, with the tunes taking on a more straight ahead melodic rock stance, but still with pop rock sensibilities helped by the keys being noticeably higher up in the mix. "Hold Me down" and "Some Like It Hot" are good rockers and the standout tracks. 3 by 5 is a different animal. A 3track ep of fine Aor, that showed a marked improvement in songwriting and vocals, with Bill Blake taking the mic on all the tracks, and original member Gary Spaniola (guitar/vocals) sitting it out, contributing to the production only. (he's produced all the albums). Concentrate on acquiring the ep, then work your way back. Or find the compilation CD that includes 8 tracks of the first album, 5 from the 2nd, and all of their excellent ep. The CD also has a secret live version of "Time to Move" from their first album.Gary Spaneola also has a solo album entitled "Project One (1986,Track Records)

Broken Rule - Transformers 199? (Melodic Rock/Hard Rock) Canada
Good Canadian band that released a selftitled album in 1990 and then this Transformers title later in the 90s. Transformers is a repackaging of the first album including 12 of the 13 tracks from the debut but with new artwork and liner notes. Very good songs throughout with the rhythm of "Simple Song" following a pattern similar to ZZ Top's "Tush". Melodic rock to hair metal style.
