Haha! Almost 3 years later I see this post; I still have that old black & white photo of Wizekrak in a frame in a box. I knew Wizekrak very well (married to guitarist a long time ago.) Quite the attire - those leggings - rofl!  🤣

Thank you for posting the videos as well… they would also do a cover of Van Halen’s “Ice Cream Man.” This was a great trip down memory lane!!

Believe it or not, I do! 2 cassettes. I think one was just self titled; the other “Behind Closed Doors.”

They both have a typical 80’s triangle logo, pink & green artwork! Lol

Any way you can lend me the tapes so I can finally hear these songs again?! Have you uploaded them to digital? I have a cassette deck hooked to my computer if you need me to transfer them. Been after their two cassettes forever!

GREAT NEWS!!!   The package has arrived safely today almost 1 month after mailing!!!!!!   The tracking number was smeared because it got wet and apparently the postal system couldn't track it.......   I'm starting on them now!

I must say this is easily one, if not my favorite thread. Got to love these 1 offs and oddities. Wish I cold have them all.

Once I get my collection out of jail I may copy you and do a PNW version as sharing is caring.

 

Thanks for the efforts in this thread Russ much appreciated.

Ditto.

Definitely agree....Who would have thought of all the great bands coming from Baltimore area???    L.A. was the hot spot, but Baltimore certainly had it's share.    As the others have said, thanks Russ for your hard work and knowledge.

[AlphaMale]

Another Baltimore area find. Kinda reminds me of Bang Tango.

[AlphaMale]

One of my favorite songs ever!! Honor Among Thieves!! Members of this band went on to form SR-71:

Another from the area, CLASS ACT:

Mr. Right (formerly Mis-Fit) from 1989. These guys were from Virginia, but were a fixture at the Baltimore area clubs:

One more for the road? Sure! Autum Black from Baltimore, MD 1991:
