Private Press AOR USA from California with a great production and excelent vocals. Another one of those legendary AOR obscurities of the 80's. Similar to SHY, MATINEE, ALIAS and THE HEAT (US) with a great production and excellent vocals.
An interesting AOR band with little history, other than this 4-track affair from 1987. Signed to the same label as San Francisco's Ringleader (Statue Records), one can assume these guys are also Californian, and they play a fairly blustery form of AOR. Lots of keyboard splashes are apparent, but overall, they deliver their music in a tough style. With one song 'Don't Forget' same as the exellent opener 'Livin' The Life', which to me sounded like the All Sports Band on steroids.
