AlphaMale Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Another release that didn't get much fanfare. Another blind purchase thanks to the hottie on the cover and some sleazy titles. It was a solid album! Some of my favorites: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Pretty solid debut. What ever happened to these guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazysam Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I thought this one was pretty good as well. I recall picking the cd up in the late 90's at a used media store. I had no idea who the band was nor what they sounded like, but took a chance figuring it had to be 80's style hard rock from the band photo on the back cover and the song titles. After giving it a few spins I was pleasantly surprised by how solid of an album it was. The second half of the album does dip in quality a little and you won't find anything overly original on display, but it is worth checking out if you have not heard it before. Feel the Fire and I Can't Wait are my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Gold Donors Darkstone Posted March 9, 2019 2023 Gold Donors Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 The old "blind purchase". As much as I love not having to waste money on dud albums, part of me misses the thrill of taking a risk with a band you've never heard of and getting home to find out it's a killer album. Thanks to the internet there's not really any need for blind purchases anymore and sometimes not even purchases at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the album cover and check out the song titles. Take a chance or no? I'm glad this was a yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Sadly I never got a genuine copy of this and only ever dealt with a CDR. One of those typically enjoyable albums from the era. Not perfect, but a very fine album with a great vocalist. I'm absolutely mad for the ballad 'I can't wait,' but there were a handful of good rockers on this too... including 'Backside of love' and 'Feel the fire.' I assume y'all know there were a bunch of leftovers released from these guys on Suncity Records a few years back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leykis101 Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 This album wasn't that scarce, feel the fire got regular air play on a few stations, I think Loverboy or one of those bands were affiliated with these guys, or produced this, maybe Mike Reno or Paul Dean, I don't remember, I think it was kind of cookie cutter stuff, a few of the songs were good, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob M. Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 This band was from Portland, Oregon. I talk to Brian Harrison on occasion through Facebook. He's a cool dude who is still involved with the local music scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains why I have found it on 3 occasions, the one I kept was signed by the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
