MUSIC HAUL 2018

A truly obscure find at Goodwill today...

Various Artists: Rock Business and Long Island Records Presents: AOR I/95

...a promotional sampler from Long Island Records, the short lived '90s AOR/hard rock record label from Germany. I own one release from this label (Parish's Envision, which feat. ex-Crimson Glory guitarist Ben Jackson), otherwise I probably wouldn't have even recognized the name.

Anyway, it's sixteen tracks in a slim case and the artists on it include some vaguely familiar band names (Demon Drive, Bloodstone, If Only, Phil Naro, Loudshine) and a whole lotta "who?" I have heard OF some of these bands, but I'm fairly sure I've never actually heard any of 'em.

I skipped thru the first half of the CD in the car as I continued on to work, and heard some straight up '80s style hair metal, some wimp-tastic Richard Marx-style AOR and even some weird synth stuff that was borderline new wave (?).

An odd mix, but I can never resist promotional crap like this when I find it out in the wild.

I see that's a Wednesday 13 project which gives me a pretty good idea of what it sounds like.

Have you ever heard his Gunfire 76 project?  That's how I first heard of Wednesday 13.  It's a more punk-oriented sound.

I haven't heard that. The Drag Queens were a great band. Quite a few of their songs ended up on the first Murderdolls album. The FDQ's were more punkish and rawer than the Murderdolls.

Yeah I have a couple Murderdolls CDs.  Check out Gunfire 76; it's more along the FDQ lines but maybe a little "poppier".  I wish he'd do another CD under the Gunfire moniker but as far as I know there's only the one album.

Finally!!!
