MOXY...NEW ALBUMS

MOXY Signs With Perris Records for "40 Years and Still Riding High" and "Live In Toronto" CD releases. Both CDs will be released May 22nd, 2015. The "40 Years and Still Riding High" release is a Re-Record of the best of from the first 3 albums: MOXY I, MOXY II and Riding High. The "Live In Toronto" release was recorded at the Sound Academy in Toronto and will include a bonus Orchestral Remix track of "Another Time". Perris Records will also release both titles digitally in the USA, Mexico and South America.

Never heard of Moxy. Interesting. Perhaps I should check them out.

I'm familiar with their new singer, Nick Walsh and his former band Slik Toxic though. He shoulda been the new singer for Skid Row. They even called him "Little Sebastian" back in the day.

I saw Nick Walsh and his band, Revolver, open for Helix up in Toronto a few years ago. I was impressed.

I own four Moxy albums and I'll this one out.  It seems weird that the Sven Gali singer is now their lead singer, but the sample sounds pretty good.  Isn't this the Canadian band that's bizarrely popular in Texas for some reason?

Very cool. Hope to pick those up someday.

Wasn't pedophile Dave Holland in this band? Or am I thinking of some other band?

Dave Holland was in Trapeze with Glenn Hughes and Mel Galley.

Ahhh. Yep. Thx De.

Yes it is..another Canadian band that had a huge following in Texas from the beginning was Helix...while most people in the states didn't take notice of them until no rest for the wicked Texas radio station were with them from the beginning...I remember hearing this when it first came out and I rushed to buy the album...

Riot also had a huge following in Texas from their early days!!!

It's not Texas per se, it's really just San Antonio. Saxon and Budgie have huge followings in San Antonio as well.

I grew up in Amarillo...way up in the Texas panhandle...and all these bands mentioned had huge followings there back in their early days as well..I even remember Roth era Scorpions  getting lots of radio play way back in the 70s in Amarillo...We had some great radio stations back then and some really good record stores that sold these albums...Even in the 80s I not only knew who Motley Crue was before they were really big but I bought the Leathür version of Too Fast for Love when it first came out thanks to regular radio play in Amarillo...  who would have thought..

Ridin High is their heaviest album. But I own all of them.
