BLACKFOOT – Tomcattin’ [Rock Candy remastered] 2013
This cd set Blackfoot apart from all the other southern rock bands by the band not trying to play in the “southern rock” style and thus not sounding like basically a Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, or Marshall Tucker copy band.
Bobnoxious – Greatest Hits 2011
Over the past 10 years, Bobnoxious has rocked the stage with many different styles of bands like Kiss, Scorpions, Kid Rock, Tragically Hip, Cypress Hill, Danko Jones, Metric, Anvil, Sheep Dogs, Finger Eleven, Thornly, Grady, The Trews, Theory of a Deadman, Default, John Corabi, and friends Grim Skunk..
JEFFERSON STARSHIP – Freedom At Point Zero (Rock Candy remastered) 2012
his is a pretty good AOR record – and there are plenty of Jefferson Starship sounding bits. The outstanding tracks (for me) are “Lightning Rose” and the glorious “Girl with the Hungry Eyes”.
New boy Mickey Thomas manages to harmonise with Kantner in some eerily Grace Slick ways – not bad at all.
Jukebox From Hell – Destemperado (2017)
The result of this whole mix is the album Destemperado. A rock-and-roll, old school, powerful, unruly, highly-tempered record with strong references to hard rock from the 70’s and 80’s and with jazz and pop rock hits. Portugal.
SERIOUS PAIN – OVER THE EDGE 1998
Indie release from Hard Rock/Metal artists Serious Pain with their undiscovered rare release entitled “Over the Edge”. The band hails from Vancouver, Washington and although they look like a thrash metal band, however, they mix metal and hard rock tremendously well.
Jay Bolan – Jay Bolan 1993 / 2009
Jay Bolan is a wonderful AOR artist who delivers passionate Melodic Rock vocals in the vein of Jimmy Harnen, Mitch Malloy and Mark Allen. The beautiful AOR ballad, “2 People In Love” reminds exactly of the Jimmy Harnen track,”Where are you Now”. Very hard to be found nowdays came out in 1993 through Rat Dog Records.
CO – COBALT BLUE 1998
This is one of those lost indie treasures that every collector must own. This album was released back in 1998 for a very short time and then they disappeared. This band delivers breathtaking late 80s style Hair Metal/Hard Rock. Musically, these guys are similar in style to Krokus, Great White and even some Motley Crue.
Think Twice – Think Twice 1990
Hard to find release from 1990 on Megaphone/Cantio. This is pretty light and is more equivalent Swedish pop-rock acts like West Of Sunset and Fingerprints. There’re also hit from Rick Springfield and even Alien. There’re many light aor tunes with poppy moments, beautiful harmonies and vocals. Worthy addition into your collection.
