Description

SPECTACULAR hair metal album --- every tune would've been a top ten or #1 if just released a year or so earlier. Really a perfect example of where our heads were at right before the Grunge movement.

Bangalore Choir's "On Target" launched the SAME DAY as NIRVANA -- hair metal died by 4pm that afternoon.

The ULTIMATE hair metal band you've never heard but HAVE to hear. Every tune is a real hit.

Producer Max Norman molested the songs to a high polish and changed a few essential minor chords into major chords -- so made it too radio friendly a la Def Leopard in some places, killed the extrememore… heaviness of the brutal, fresh demo that got them signed in the first place -- but a few tracks peel paint with heavy grooves, sick guitar tone -- and the whole project is really hook laden, catchy and well crafted -- and on top of it all Dave Reece's huge, deep, 'Big Man' voice is what David Coverdale could only dream of.

Performances from all musicians are just as tight and tasty as you could hope to find in that genre.

Sad story. Dave Reece, the singer, had an ego meltdown over wardrobe issues and dropped the drummer and bassist about a three weeks before the album was released (the ridiculously talented bassist Danny Greenberg, and tasty drummer Derek Thomas played all the tracks on the album -- good friends from the Sunset Strip scene, Ian Mayo and Jackie Ramos, stepped in right before the release and appear on the album photos but had nothing at all to do with the music in any way).

Bangalore's premiere video for 'Loaded Gun' (the softest track and not the best song to introduce the band to the world) appeared in heavy rotation on MTV for about two weeks -- then they disapppeared forever.

Sad, because Bangalore Choir probably would've been a giant stadium draw if they'd not just missed the timing by that crucial year or so...

If you like technically flawless power hair metal --- make sure to add this to your collection and tell two friends -- and so on and so on and so on .....

And by the way -- go to You Tube and punch in "Bangalore Choir" -- check the live bootleg video of "All Or Nothing" from 1990 Sunset Strip gig when Danny and Derek were still on board -- They had it goin on!
