History:
Known almost exclusively for their massive single "Turn Up The Radio", Autograph was never able to match the success of that debut single and slowly faded into obscurity.
  Vocalist Steve Plunkett formed Autograph in Los Angeles, California in 1983 while working with Silver Condor. Feeling stifled creatively in that unit he recruited friends and former bandmates Steve Lynch (guitar, ex-Looker), Randy Rand (bass, ex-Wolfgang), Keni Richards (drums, ex-John Doe) and Steven Isham (keyboards) to record a demo cassette. With the help of Andy Johns (who helped record a new and better sounding demo) and David Lee Roth (who got the guys an opening slot on Van Halen's 1984 tour, despite not having released an album) Autograph got their foot in the hard rock door.
  Signing with RCA during the Van Halen shows, Autograph left the tour and went to L.A. to record the debut that would be titled Sign In Please. Both the album, which went on to be certified gold, and the accompanying single "Turn Up The Radio" shot into Billboard's Top 30, garnering Autograph instant success. But the following albums were commercial failures compared to the debut and by 1989 the band members went their separate ways due in part to little record label interest.
  Plunkett released a solo album in 1989 and wrote songs with several hard rock bands around at the time, Lynch's solo debut didn't see the light of day until 2004 and Richards helped form the short lived Dirty White Boy. In 2003 Plunkett resurrected the Autograph moniker one more time with a new group of musicians featuring T.J. Helmerich (guitar), Lance Morrison (bass) and Matt Laug (bass) for the album Buzz which satisfied fans but went largely unnoticed.
