I began watchin NCIS: Sydney this evening and a bit of a song at the very beginning caught my ear. I'd never heard it before and I had hell trying to find out who it was as it wasn't on Tunefinders, etc. AI came to the rescue, however, when I fed it a line o' lyrics. Turned out The Church is a well-known band from OZ formed in 1980. This song was released as a single in 1988:


Amen.
Deo vindice

Shooting Star was formed in the late 70s. From Kansas City, Missouri, they're one of those bands that I had to go buy the album first time I heard the song. Released as a single in 1982, "Hang On For Your Life" is as good as it was the first time I heard it:


Amen.
Deo vindice

The singer sounds a bit like Sammy Hagar.

Did you listen to it? It aint a bad tune. The Icicyle Works is along the lines of the Cure which I don't like but Whisper to a Scream is good.

Yes, I did. I also listened to two additional songs of theirs. I thought the one you posted was, indeed, the best of the lot.

Amen.

Wikipedia says it better than me:

"American Songwriter wrote, "Diamond Head may not be known to casual heavy metal fans, but they were part of the new wave of British heavy metal and influenced the early sounds of Metallica and Megadeth.The Guardian wrote, "If there's a single song that epitomises" the sound of the new wave of British heavy metal era, it would be "Am I Evil?"."

Christmas is upon us. Shen is our heavy metal junkie. So, Merry Christmas and a Ho-Ho-Ho!


Amen.

Deo vindice

Thank you Santa Stu. I love my gift.

However, I wanted to sit on your lap and whisper in your ear what I wanted.
