Does anyone know this band? The nearest I can figure is that a member of the band was in another band with someone who co-wrote “Shot Through the Heart” with Jon Bon Jovi and that seems to be the biggest legacy for a band that released 3 albums and had a revolving door of members.
Doing what VH and a ton of other bands of their llk were at the same time and doing it pretty well, but the market is pretty saturated for this music and, if you weren’t able to cut through, you’re a footnote.
it’s actually all perfectly acceptable for this style, which is a style I often adore so I gotta give the Jersey kids props for trying. Most of it is right there, ready to be hits (“Heart of the Night”, “Away From You”) especially in 1985. I’m a bit flummoxed as to why it didn’t get there.
Sometimes they sound like Van Halen, other times, Survivor, or Boston or even a touch of Deep Purple (“Listen to Ya”) and Rush (“Sail Away”).
Founding member, Scott Metaxas, is on Facebook. We have no mutual friends but we have about 10-12 friends who have mutual friends (mostly from the entertainment and music world…looking at you, Robbie).
I have half a mind to reach out for a comment. Thoughts? If you could ask him something, what would you ask?
