Hot Shot - St 2005 (Hard Rock) US
14:16
Excellent US commercial hard rock the circuit 1990-1992.To summarize a little the history of Hot Shot and Mike, after comings and goings, in which Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee appear wanting to produce the band, leaving that possibility void when Motley says goodbye to vocalist Vince Neil, Mike finally manages to give birth to “his son” long awaited for so many years. Together with Al Pitrelli, Bruno, Steve and other musicians of ample career, such as Tony Bruno (Danger Danger, Saraya), Al Greenwood (Foreigner), Check Bonafonte (Saraya) and Gary Bivona (Marcello)
Sceptre - Rise To Power 1986 [Melodic Rock CCM] US 320@
11:33
Sceptre hailed from Newberg, Oregon acted in the mid 80s. Not to be confused with Sceptre from Los Angeles, California. Their debut album came out in 1986 from Free Rain label in timy limited copies in tape and vinyl edition. If you are a fan of the 1980’s style Christian rock with power chord drivin’ guitar and great keyboards,then this rare private press gem is right up your alley.The song “Helter Skelter” on here is their own song, not to be confused with the beatles song. A super hard to find album nowdays.(PAGE)
Scary Hairy - Intent To Deliver 1993 (Hard Rock) US
11:23
If you like your metal progressive with alot of melody then this is the band for you. Scary Hairy sounds like a cross between Dream Theater and Black Sabbath with some elements of Queesryche and Savatage in the mix. All the power chords you could ever want, with soaring vocals, and huge drums. Every track on the disc is great, but my personal favorite is the explosive 'One That Got Away'. Other stand out songs are 'Show, Place, or Win' and 'Lonely Children'. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.(malebolgia)

Who knows this ??? Well, I didn't, when I found it at a record convention last year. I knew it from name, but never saw an actually copy of this obscure slice of vinyl. The seller told me this is great pomp rock ala Hybrid Ice....
After hearing it, I'm not completely unanimous with this statement though.
There are some really good pomp rock songs on this lp, but on the other hand theres also weaker melodic hard rock tracks, bit comparable with Lynn Allen.
There are 2 singers, a decent amount of guitars and keys but like I said before, the songwriting is not always Convincing. Anyway, another nice lp to add at your never ending wants lists...happy hunting!. (willy)

Misty Rox - Nursery Crimes 1990 (Hair Metal) US
9:46
This is some of the best metal music out there--once you get "Nursery Crymes" or "Prelude to War" in your head, they won't go away; and "Broken Hearts, Broken Roads" is a truly haunting ballad. I never saw them in person, but I have two home movies of Misty Rox, and their live performances--no matter the singer--are amazing. John's drum playing is top-notch, and the guitar work--Ron is truly one of the best, and a talented writer as well. If you can, grab this CD--it is well worth it.(laidy)
Slammer - St 1985 (Melodic Hard Rock) US
2:04Slammer hailed from Michigan released this single back in 1986 on SRA Records on limited quantities. Not something mindblowing just great guitar playing and well crafted mediocore songs backed with many backing vocals. Rare and unknown. INFO
Sarvela - Powerful Pleasure 1993 (Hard Rock) US
8:26
Sarvela hailed from Massachusetts acted in the early 90s, being another prime example of a band that never got the chance to get something better in the music industry. The band lead by vocalist Brian Sarvela who later work with Joe Stumps Reign Of Terror and Zanister. The audio is a perfect sample of the band’s quality. The demo is hard to be found nowdays. In 2005 Sarvela re-formed played in around area releasing the album “Rage” and split up again. Brian Sarvela passed away in 2014.(https://melodic-hardrock.com/sarvela-powerful-pleasure-1993/)
