Dagger stuff I received was the "Dream Stealer" cassette songs on a CDR (6 tracks), a rare live Dagger show from 1991 at HammerJacks, a CDR of a band called Unannounced, and a CD in shrinkwap of a band called High Bridge.

Wow...that is so cool.

Crystal Ball-Dawnbreaker

For anyone interested, here's the story on STRIPPER:

 

Stripper didn't get much love in the local press. They were considered amateur-ish.

 

The local ROX magazine had a review of their live show and said they were terrible and hadn't gotten any better after several years playing out.

 

Fun Fact: They were originally called VALENTINE. But some other band with a guy named HUGO had that name and had just been signed to a record deal for their debut album.

 

Baltimore's Valentine then changed their spelling to Valentyne. They ditched the named and then became DIVINE MADNESS before settling on the name STRIPPER.

 

Their singer Sean Cip and guitarist Kenny Stoned both moved to San Francisco in the early 90's and released a bunch of discs with their new band SPARROWS POINT. (Sparrow's Point is a locale in Maryland).

I'll keep buying CD's as long as they keep making them ! Some of the older acts have gone to their vaults and have released some very pricey box sets the past couple of years.And from what I've heard they have sold reasonably well.

I agree!!!!!

Sinful Kixx-Midnight Fantasy

A taste of the original RUMBLE STREET!!

It's a sad day that MBM is closing.....great service ...fast delivery....u just don't get theat quality of service from other distributors

 

 

 

 

Hey guys. Just created a YouTube page for the band RUMBLE STREET at the drummer's request. These Baltimore hard rockers were a must see at the Baltimore area clubs. Mark Savage's strong vocals and the bands strong rhythm section. I posted all 5 of their songs from their 1st demo from around 1990.

Apparantely, the band RUMBLE STREET had a 5-song demo. Reviewed inside of Rox magazine

 

Rumble Street

Rumble Street

 

With the current glut of L.A. glam/biker rock clones in the market, Rumble Street are an easily forgotten band. The band member do display promise, but their creative direction won't do much to move them into the spotlight. . .or my cassette deck.

 

Their five-song demo begins with "Open Road," a mid-tempo, basic progression grunge ballad. I felt like I was walking in molasses waiting for this open road to lead somewhere. It never did.

 

The next cut is "Go All The Way," (Careful, the titles are out of order on the J-cover!), which opens with a cool tom tom pattern then breaks into something too L.A. Guns-ish. The convincing erotic moans did get under my skin, though.

 

"Rumble Street," the third track, is a grinding city sleaze tune. This one is furious urban noise that made me see steam rising off the asphalt and pushers on the corner.

 

Next up, "Heat Of The City" has all the basic components of a good hard rock song, but wasn't nearly as fresh or convincing as "Rumble Street."

 

Last, but not least, "Need Your Love" as an interesting combination of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" and the Gunners' "My Michelle." This cut best displays vocalist Mark Savage's ability to hit those banshee wails, and is, ironically, about the most original piece on the demo.

 

All told, this demo does have its merits. The songs have a street feel and the recording is fairly tight. But the main problem here is that Rumble Street's sound is too common, and in the city of a thousand bands, you need a lot more than a so-so demo to keep from getting buried under the pile.

 

 

Acquired these demos tonight!!!!!

 

Wow...very cool....hope to hear the demos

Here's an unveiling!! Brand new track sent to me by the band!!!

 

Race The Rat with the song "Race The Rat".
