There is was a band from Tacoma Washington that released an EP independently a loong time ago called Pharaoh and they sound exactly like Too Fast era Motley.
Impossible to find that album and an example of on the interweb is elusive as well.
Sounds a little like Ratt too. The singer has a bit of a Stephen Pearcy vibe.

Both of those bands sound good! Pharaoh has a bit better production. Wonder how that Alias Mangler reissue CD sounds? Is that the same as the video or is that the original release?

Witchfinder General was like a cross between Motley’s Too Fast for Love album and Sabbath.

Even Spinal Tap is offended by that cover.

Bought this obscure band's CD - I have to admit - it has early Crue hints. They were from South Carolina, not L.A.
Pretty cool sounding band but dumb name.

Found it!
I have possessed 2 of these cd's, 1 I still have and 1 went to Arizona with my now gone good friend James Gebbia (RIP brother).
RIP Stardyer. I also have had this album a couple of times. But 200 bucks is 200 bucks. Right Terry?

Y'know it's funny, I had a MC song come on a comp in the truck yesterday and it made me think of the fact that not a lot of singers really sounded like Vince back in the day.

True that John!
I am seeing this one was bootlegged a few years back, shame.
Found the rest of this album, this one is a wee bit more Poison than Motley...
This one is more Motley.
and lastly another Poison/Motley mash up.

I think these clowns would have liked to be Motley but they were way too terrible to reach even those modest heights!
