STREETCAR REVENGE – Streetcar Revenge [Eonian Records] (2025), MP3+FLAC
Formed in 2022 from the ashes of Northeast cult favorite SCAM, four-piece STREETCAR REVENGE was born with a clear mission: to capture the raw energy, soaring melodies, and gritty edge of ‘80s and ‘90s hard rock, while forging a sound that’s distinctly their own.
Just released (and featured in exclusive at here) by specialized label Eonian Records, the band’s self-titled debut album “Streetcar Revenge” is a thunderous tribute to American melodic hard rock golden age, delivering razor-sharp riffs, anthemic choruses, and emotionally driven lyrics with unapologetic power and modern flair.
Musically, these guys remind us latter day Firehouse, Night Ranger, and AdrianGale. Yeah, they are good, and the album packed with many strong songs and a polished production sound.
With no interest in chasing trends or imitating icons, STREETCAR REVENGE walks its own path, fusing classic hard rock influences with a bold, contemporary perspective. Their chemistry and relentless creativity quickly caught the attention of Eönian Records in late 2024. Soon after, the band joined forces with renowned drummer and producer BJ Zampa (Dokken, House of Lords), who co-produced the album, adding a hard-hitting intensity to this debut.
Hailing from New York City, vocalist Rick Dunn brings over two decades of experience to STREETCAR REVENGE, along with a voice tailor-made for the genre. Known for his emotionally charged performances and powerful melodic instincts, Dunn previously fronted Atom Strange and The Infection, earning national radio play and appearances on MTV and SiriusXM.
Since joining in 2023, Dunn has infused the band’s sound with lyrical depth and a timeless vocal edge. Dunn’s musical style is characterized by a fusion of hard rock and commercial pop-rock influences, creating a sound that is both familiar and unique. His voice has been compared to various rock icons yet maintains its own distinctive quality.
Other key member is guitarist Billy Gleason. A staple of the Connecticut rock scene since the 1980s, Billy Gleason began his journey with ESP before founding SCAM, a group that built a loyal following across the Northeast. In 2018, Gleason rebooted SCAM with new energy and direction, eventually leading to the formation of STREETCAR REVENGE. His guitar work, bold, expressive, and unmistakably classic hard rock, is at the heart of the band’s sonic identity.
With early roots in trumpet and organ, Marc Gaudiosi transitioned to bass in high school, studying under blues guitarist Tony Deziel and sharpening his chops with the hard rock group PYRAMIS. His collaboration with Gleason on the SCAM reboot laid the foundation for STREETCAR REVENGE. Gaudiosi’s heavy, melodic bass lines give the band’s music its driving, soulful foundation.
A dynamic and technically gifted drummer, Tim Huntington completes the lineup with relentless energy and precision. A Westchester County native and former saxophonist, he turned to drums at age 13 and later studied under Joe Franco (Twisted Sister, Widowmaker). Endorsed by DW Drums, Soultone Cymbals, and Scorpion Percussion, Huntington delivers the percussive power that defines the band’s rhythm section.
A strong 10-tracker, well written, with the ‘catchy factor’ and plenty of melodic riffs. A welcomed new band to the classic melodic hard rock scene.
