DEFCON WERE CHICAGO'S PREMIER MELODIC HARD ROCK / AOR / HAIR METAL ACT IN THE LATE 80s AND EARLY 90s AND THEY WERE KIND ENOUGH TO ALLOW RETROSPECT RECORDS TO RELEASE ALL 4 OF THEIR DEMOS ONTO ONE CD. YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY BY THE SHEER QUALITY OF THESE SONGS , POWERFUL VOCALS , SEARING AXEWORK , HUGE HOOKS AND JUST ENOUGH KEYBOARDS TO KEEP ALL THE AOR FANS HAPPY.
SOME OF THE SONGS WERE PRODUCED BY RUDY SARZO. RETROSPECT RECORDS CONTINUES TO RELEASE SOME OF THE BEST OBSCURE ARTISTS IN THE WORLD BUT THEY'VE REALLY OUTDONE THEMSELVES THIS TIME!! I COULD COMPARE THESE GUYS TO A NUMBER OF 80s BANDS like Whitesnake , Rock Boulevard , King Kobra , Unruly Child , Signal , XYZ , Warrant , Skid Row , Blue Murder and Hurricane.... BUT I'LL LET YOU LISTEN TO THIS MASTERPIECE FOR YOURSELVES...
