Has anyone around here bought the Strikeforce release?

 

The samples sound great and I was wondering about the rest on the disc.

 

The Strikeforce release is very strong. The samples represent a fair overview of the whole release....So I would say that if you liked the samples, you will like the rest as well.

thanks for all the support guys , I have some HUUUUUGE news brewing that will please everyone but must keep a tight lip until all contracts are signed!

 

It's nice to know that more and more people are taking me seriously (including major artists - as you will find out shortly).

 

Strikeforce is a great album that I hope more Hard Rock fans will embrace.

 

I do have more Sharx / Dreamstreet-sounding AOR bands coming , including the awesome band SHYSTER.

 

Also , be looking for a slick re-vamped website very soon.

Just curious, are any of the bands being released on Retrospect still together and doing music now in 2006? Are some of these cd's new releases or are they all re-issues of long lost bands? In ''retrospect'', am I dreaming when hoping little known indie bands from the 80's have a chance at a comeback.

There are a few yes. The upcoming STIT release was written in 1990 but recorded in 2006. Strikeforce are still active. Bad Candy have reformed. Defcon are currently writing new material. NewCity Rockers reformed to add 2 bonus tracks to their release. Herazz are still together. And I'm trying like hell to get Mariah to reform for a new album (after the release of Mariah '3' , there's going to be a huge demand for this band). Also , I am working my ass off for a Defcon / Mariah / Keel tour in 2007.

I would say a 'limited' comeback.

I just ordered the Strikeforce and the Defcon.

I think wanting indie bands to comeback is a dream we all have. I assume that's the reason why labels like this one are created. If Doxy reunited and played a gig in Tulsa it would probably bring a tear to my eye. I feel the same way about Jungle Blue and so many of the other long lost bands out there. Some of those bands deserved so much more.

    • Some of these I have touched on in the past, but not found myself desperate to explore more. For instance 8 have hardline eclipse and also II. But that's it  Same with a few others on the list, I may have an album. So I guess I really want another Tyketto where the whole catalogue is great. If any on the list fit that bill. In the past I tried out Alfo November. The one with a brick wall in it?, Lillian Axe and a Loudness. Maybe I need to try them again. I purposefully left some off, like Vibbie Vincent Invasion because of the screechy vocals. I guess I always put Mark Free in that group as well.
    • Doesn't sound like Sweet at all but I kinda like it actually.
    • From your list and what hasn't been mentioned ,Sleeze Beez -Screwed,Blued & Tattooed and their Powertool album  ,Bezerk by Tigertailz , first two Lillian Axe , Baton Rouge - Shale Your Soul...all particular favs of mine,I have  a soft spot for Loudness - Thunder In The East also,dunno if you have Master Of Disguise from Lizzy Borden but it would be my fav by them....to be honest most of the artists on that  list I like though 
    • New song 'Burning Like A Falling Star' from the forthcoming album 'Full Circle'.    
    • Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut. Akdo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".  
    • So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger  
    • New song 'Chase The Sun'.
