Glam rock (also known as glitter rock) is a style of rock and pop music that developed in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s, which was performed by singers and musicians who wore outrageous clothes, makeup and hairstyles, particularly platform-soled boots and glitter. The flamboyant costumes and visual styles of glam performers were often camp or androgynous, and have been connected with new views of gender roles.

This Syracuse, New York-based quartet came along just before the grunge apocalypse and put out a pretty rockin’ little album (which is pretty tough to find on CD). The production (on indy label Ice Productions) is a little rough around the edges, but the musicianship is tight and frontman DR Rydher (who still sings 80s metal in Syracuse for covers band 3 Inch Fury) has the necessary swagger and vocal stylings.

Las Vegas based glam/hard rock band formed in the early 90s. A great find for fans of 80s sleaze especially if you like artists such as Vince Neil, Stephen Pearcy, Phil Lewis, and Steel Tear. No catchy but indeed very enjoyable tunes with good production and nice riffs. In 2007 for a first time Retrospect Records re-release it on cdr format.

What a great CD. It is so fun to listen to – really takes you back. To me, the songs easily sound like they could have been played on the radio. Must be a tough business to crack into because there is so much talent there. Tonite is particularly excellent.
