Does anyone know much about this band? Apparantly they are an Aussie band who lived for 3 years from 1988-1990 but I'd never heard of them until now. I found two different references one saying they're from Perth and another stating Sydney as their home town. A bit on the bluesy side of Hard Rock at times but don't let that put you off if you don't like Bluesy Hard Rock as there is some really cool songs on here. This was their only album but they have at least 3 singles as well. The album got a Japanese and German release as well as the Aussie version so I wonder if they were popular in other countries.

 

There are two copies of the album on E-bay at the moment, one for 25 Euros and another for US $120.

 

If anyone has any of the CD singles with non-album tracks, I'd be very interested.

Wow, I have never seen or heard of this one. Would love to find a copy of it! I'll have to try out the samples when I get home.

They were based in Sydney but Tyrone Coates is a W.A boy and not much happened for them after the brilliant "Worlds On Fire" was released.

In all honesty I did not think much of the album other than a couple of tracks.

I have the "Worlds On Fire" cds and the other track on that is "Get Up And Get It On" so if you want that track, send me a PM with your email address and I will try and forward it on to you :tumbsup:

Thanks for the info Dave. After more plays of this album, I'd have to agree that it's not anything special but there are two, maybe three really nice songs on here. I tend to get a little excited when I discover new Aussie AOR/Hard Rock bands, especially those from the late 80's/early 90's era. BTW, I sent you a PM regarding that extra track. :)

IMO, I think Tyrone Coates had a great rock voice and probably the best in the country and also would have been very well suited to front some of the big name overseas bands at the time.

His talents were wasted being in Australia and he was regarded as a relative unknown outside of this country.

"Is That The Way To Say Goodbye" was another very good track.

This band had plenty of potential but it was not to be and that was a shame.

Extra track just sent to you Justin :tumbsup:

      The Angels - Ninety Nine

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.

      Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice.

      Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'

      Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

      Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
