Exclusive reviews and promo records


Wisconsin's answer to bands like Warrant, Extreme, Tesla and " High and Dry" era Def Leppard. They were extremely popular for awhile but ultimately split up after only one cd. They do have a bunch of demos I compiled and will throw up here next. Highly recommended to those who are into melodic rock.

I first heard / saw Electric Black in January last year at HRH NWOCR, and was impressed with the set they performed. I bought their debut album, ‘The Calm Before‘, whilst I was there and was glad I got a second chance to see them later in the year.

It’s a really welcomed move from Escape Music finally reissuing their long time out of print catalog, and today the label is re-releasing “Long Way To Heaven“, the terrific debut album from Canadians STRANDED.
Simply put, this CD not only is one of the best AOR albums from the ’90s / ‘2000s, but of ALL TIME.
