History:
A pop-metal band that sounds like a rough version of Journey crossed with
Krokus style vocals.
Formed in the early 80's in New York from the ashes of Sun who
recorded a tune for the Live At The Rats compilation. The band consisted of
Steve Johnstad (vocals), Randy Fredrix (guitar), Charles Mas
(bass) and David Beck (keyboards). Their debut featured precision rocking
mixed with Fredrix' new-wave leanings. The album also included a killer
cover of Starz' "So Young So Bad."
Before recording of Revenge, they replaced Beck with a
full-time drummer named Danny Shmitt. However this record also failed
commercially and the band soon broke up. Fredrix would be the most
noticeable member since the split, appearing with R&B legend Chaka Khan.
