Hard Attack – Hard Attack 2013

First time ever on cd for 80s AOR act HARD ATTACK!! These songs were all recorded between 1984 & 1989 and there is some top quality Melodic Rock on offer here. Led by the unique vocals of Winton Fenderson and rounded out by lush keyboards , tasty axework and a solid rhythm section , I believe AOR fans around the world will find a lot to like about these long lost tracks. From uptempo Melodic Rockers like ‘Give It Time’ and ‘Lay it on the Line’ to Keyboard-driven ballads like ‘Is There A Reason’ and ‘Can’t Wait’ , to the moody textures of ‘Hard Rain’ and the NWOBHM feel of ‘Stand Back’ , Retrospect Records is very excited to unleash these 17 songs for the first time to the world of almost-never-heard gems.
