I FINALLY remembered the name of this band.... Holland!

This was an album that I played the shit out of back in the day... I remembered that the album cover was a street... which kept making me think of "Knock Down Drag Out Rock and Roll Party In the Streets" by Kick Axe. Kept thinking the band was a city... like "London" or "Hollywood".

Then I remembered that it had a guitarist on it that I thought was a Mike Varney (Shrapnel Records) dude....



... turns out the guitarist was a Chicago dude by the name of "Michael Baito".

Yep... that guy.

Michael Angelo Baito.

But this was the hit single from this (at least in our region)

Listening through the tracks and pretty sure this was one of my favorites...



... and compared to how MAB started playing once he went all "extreme", this is pretty tasteful shredding.
