Thanks for sharing all this. I really enjoy finding out about and hearing songs from these bands that played in your area back then. It is one of my favorite threads on the forum. Makes me wish I'd have kept more stuff.

Not bad. I recall liking their debut, but haven't heard to much from their last couple. Still surprises me that the band was formed by members of the AOR band Street Talk. Glad to see they stabilized things with their revolving vocalist spot, Urban Breed (great), Michael Bormann (who I like, but didn't fit) and now this guy for the last few.

good tune

I will say The Bang Gang, they had a pretty short run and were a bit more obscure when compared to most of the artists on your list

Good stuff, I always wondered why this didn't develop into something more than just demos at that time.

I liked a lot of new wave acts back in the '80's, and although the sax solo was a nice touch, I thought the track itself was a little boring

Them by PFR is a good album, but I've unfortunately not heard many of those other Christian rock albums from '96. The vocals on that Mortification song were too extreme for me though.

Jorn sounds excellent as always, as for the songs, both sounded pretty good to me

Original would get my vote

I recall seeing them opening for Rob Zombie and Ozzy about 10 years ago, they weren't bad, but this song doesn't hit the spot for me.

I recall these guys, but I passed on it back in the 80's after hearing a song or two. After listening to some of that I can recall why. Not horrible by any means, but not something I'd listen to much.

I never checked out his solo album, that is a nice tune. I think that's Todd still on the backing vocals at the 3:00 mark, but it does sound like Gary.

I agree with Geoff about HS having retained some of the elements that turned some people off in the past. Despite us all enjoying similar styles of music and even many of the same artists our tastes will generally differ when it comes to individual songs and albums. A good example of that is the recent thread about "perfect" songs. There are some songs from that topic I love and some that wouldn't even land in my top 10 from the respective bands. I think United is really good and it is in my top 5 for 2017, so far. But to put that in perspective, I would probably rank it as #5 or #6 out of all their albums, for me. If you enjoyed some of their releases since Voice of Reason then this one should be worth adding to your collection , but if you only got into their debut and/or Mood Swings you will probably only find some of the tracks on United to your liking.

Not bad

Thank you, very much appreciated. It seemed like Amazon was either already out of stock or their distribution was delayed again.

Does anyone know if this was released yet on cd, outside of the copies being shipped to the pledge backers?

This is song off the latest album from The Greg Billings Band and features Brian Johnson. Greg was the lead singer of Stranger and still records and performs around Florida. It might not appeal to everyone, but figured a few people might enjoy it.

I always like stumbling across lesser known bands. These guys don't have a record deal from what I understand, but have a unique sound and I think they show some potential

These guys are a fairly new band from California. They played a smaller club in my area just a few months ago. I think they have pretty cool old school metal sound to them. I'm posting one of their videos from their last album along with a track from their new album. I hope you'll give them a listen

This band has been around for quite awhile and has changed their sound over the years, from goth metal to alt metal. Their latest single has a more modern rock sound to it so I thought I'd post it to this section of the forum. I enjoyed it and thought some of you might as well.

White Lion - Mane Attraction Zac Brown Band - The Foundation Action - S/T Ziggy Marley - S/T Megadeth - So Far, So Good...So What!

I was thinking of buying it this weekend along with the new Harem Scarem. I would think Andrew's site Melodic Rock Records would have it. But I know for sure I saw NEH Records had both HS and Arti Tisi available, they were listed in their new arrivals section. It looked to me that the Arti Tisi was listed as 3 separate titles rather than 1 set with 3 discs.

Metal Church - Blessing in Disguise Lee Aaron - Some Girls Do Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood Within Temptation - The Silent Force Southgang - Group Therapy Sixx: A.M. - Prayers for the Damned

They sound pretty good. Vocalist reminds me of Mike Howe from Metal Church.
