Toy Roz - St 1989 (Hard Rock) 320@
2:20This is the forgotten band that no-one has remembered... until now. Toy Roz epitomizes the excess of the late 80's hair band gone awry.
The first track of side B launches into a powerhouse set/gig opener where the singer rides sharp throughout all choruses. It is almost as if he could not hear the monitors on stage at teh beginning of a live gig. I imagine the singer was a rude prick to the live sound guys because they were going to "make it big time". It is brilliant.(TOY)

Agent - Experience of Passion "EP" 1986 (Melodic Hard Rock) Ger
2:43The band logo looks Metal, unfortunately the music isn't. I also haven't heard about Rockwork Records yet, but I'm no real German Metal fanatic so I don't really care that much. AGENT seems to be from Cologne, at least the album was recorded there, but there's no year mentioned on the sleeve and the whole thing looks pretty private. Guess they have been fans of EUROPE and all these Radio Metal bands coz that's what's to hear on the record. Watery semi-epic AORish Hard Rock with dominant keyboards and a more or less german sounding vocalist, who did his job well, but sadly can't oppress his accent, although I can hear a nasty Ronnie James Dio influence! Judging by their style/sound I'd say the record was recorded ca. 1987-90 and if a song like "Welcome the night" wouldn't be featured I'd advice you to ignore this one, but that damn little hymn makes the record buyable even though the SURVIVOR "Eye of the tiger" flair is undenyable. So imagine a heavier "Eye of the tiger" version with Dio singing. Dammit, why aren't the other tracks sounding like "Welcome the night"?.(metalpage)
Thank u Strappado/Aortrooper

Sure Conviction - Blind 2001 (CCM Rock/AOR) US
2:40Sometimes a band you havent heard in years just popps up. Back in 93 the two brothers Liffengren in Sure Conviction first got my attention with their John & Dino Elephante - produced album "Get Ready". Back then they played quite tough AOR with of course a nice production from the brother Elephante. And - what came in the post the other day. yes - your guess is right - a brand new album with the band. So, what about it then. Gone is the pure AOR sound from the early 90s. Instead they have added an acoustic production to the songs whore still very melodic. The production isnt 100% on the album, which is sad cause they sure have some good songs on here such as "Without Your Love" and the AOR:ish "Greater". All in all a quite pleasant surprise that would have been really good if a good producer had been involved.(melodic.net)
