The 1980 Listening Post - Breathless - Nobody Leaves This Song Alive

 Breathless - Nobody Leaves This Song Alive


May 1 1980

Breathless

Nobody Leaves This Song Alive

Genre: Rock

4 out of 5


Highlights:

Hardest Part (of Loving You)

Wild Weekend

Can You Feel It


Is this a Donny Iris and the Cruisers record but without Donny? Mark Avsec is the keyboardist here and Kevin Valentine is the drummer. 

So, someone wanted to turn Jonqh Kohlen into a rock hero but he doesn’t have the charisma of Donny but some of the songs really give me that Power Pop vibe. And they can get T. Rexy at points (“Wild Weekend”), the rock out on "Can You Feel It” and they get downright Glamthem on the title track. 

That last tune is working too hard to be a stadium closer and I don’t know that they could afford the light show it would require. But points for trying!
