"Out Of The Business" is the second CD by the Hamburg melodic hard rock band BAD SISTER. The 1991 album is one of the classics of the AOR genre, was not available on CD for years and was sought after by fans as a rarity. After the success of the current album "Where Will You Go" (2022), Pride & Joy Music is now releasing the band's classic - remastered and with a bonus track. 32 years after its release, BAD SISTER's "Out Of The Business" is back on CD.
At the end of the 1980s, the Hamburg band attracted attention with their debut album "Heartbreaker" (1989) - finest classic rock, AOR and melodic rock, which they play in the style of Heart, Journey, Foreigner, Giant, Survivor and others. The band made headlines in the 1990s backing Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan and Detroit rock shouter Mitch Ryder. Their first album "Heartbreaker" is considered one of the classics in the international AOR scene. The second album "Out Of The Business" was released in 1991 in Europe, USA and Japan. In the following years the band played many shows and open air festivals. They performed several times on the main stage of Wacken Open Air.
"Out Of The Business" is full of great AOR melodies and melodic hard rock - catchy uptempo rockers ("Stop This Game"), smashing mid-tempo hits ("S.O.S.") or groovy shuffles ("How Much Love"). "The re-release is also a reminder of our first singer Petra Degelow," says drummer Kai-Ove Kessler. Petra died in 2013 at the age of 53. "She was the heart and voice of the band". And there is a special guest on this classic album: Alex Conti, guitarist of the German band "Lake", plays two guitar solos.
And the band has another surprise: The re-release of "Out Of The Business" features a 2023 version of the hit "How Much Love". The current version is sung by Andrea Löhndorf, the voice of BAD SISTER. All songs on the record were remastered in the studio and now sound fresh and powerful.
