Sons of Angels are a Norwegian Rock Band from 1990. They released their first self titled album in 1990 on May 11. They weren't very well known but their first record managed to sell over 150 000 copies. They had a bit of success with the album's single and first track - "Cowgirl" - they also made a music video of that song. They returned in 2001 with a 2nd album - "Slumber With The Lion". No longer together if i am right :(
@@neilkendall5499 They were from Norway. Solly (the singer) still sings but in personal projects. There's also a second album if you don't know, titled "Slumber With The Lion".
I had this tape way back when it came out in 1990. They were a good band. Unfortunately though, they were one of those bands who came out at the wrong time. All those new bands (at the time) who had just released their debut albums between 1990 - 1992 (like Sons of Angels, Trixter, Nelson, Shooting Gallery, Wildside, etc) had no idea that their fate was pretty much sealed when the grunge bands devoured them in 92 /. 93. Glad to see the video lives. It's been many years since I've seen it.
Oh my god,I've been looking for this song since the mid 90's.I couldn't find it anywhere until today! WOW Great song and vid!!! Hope it doesn't disappear like all the other good youtube vids.
It took me over a decade to find a (cassette) copy of this album/song. Nobody's ever heard of them, and the tape I recorded off the radio wasn't very good. Overall, a good album, but a few songs i didn't like. Couldn't find these guys ANYWHERE. I listened to them until i burned out on it.
No man,Crush 40 are a Japanese American rock band originally known as Sons of Angels, that was made to create music for the SEGA arcade racing game NASCAR Rubbin' Racing (known as NASCAR Arcade in the Americas.) They have released two albums as of now, and are one of the more notable bands employed by Sega to play music for the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Most of their contributions are songs for the various games in this series. But this "Sons Of Angels" come from Norway...first album in 1990.
if you guys wish there were some new bands like the music from the 80s check out vains of jenna, Crazy lixx, Sister, Hell n Diesel and Crashdiet there all amazing bands with that oroginal sound most of them are out of sweden but crazy lixx is my favorite its like the love child of skid row and AC/DC lol =]
Kan noen tro at Pizzamannen, Lars Kilevold, har vært Heavyrocker? I tillegg er Torstein Bieler med i bandet, han var på 70-tallet kjent fra gruppa Broadway News med Lage Fosheim og Eivind Rølles. Man!
I remember when this debuted on the radio. That opening guitar riff hooked me in. The rest of the song is ok, not outstanding, but that guitar always grabs me.
The new bands are nothing like the 80's. The 80's rocked whole lotta harder! We need new bands which eventually can play. Many of the bands of this new wave are just posers and can't play shit. Crazy Lixx new album will rock hard though. Their new guitarist And Lee Dawson has contributed a lot to Crazy Lixx. Thier new album will definitely be superior to everything else coming out of this wave!
at that point hard rock was losing "hard" and became just fm-rock,highly accepted by radio and mums....that's why it was killed by grunge.....and by the way,i love melodic rock!
Have to clean up the business side of the industry first. They got a bunch of Hair bands back together, but it's a bad contract all around. The bands are f*ckin' screwed, but they don't admit it. Don't expect the fun music out of them much.
I remember buying SOA's self-titled album on cassette back in the day. I may have listened to it once all the way through, and pretty much every song was forgettable to me. Nothing really stood out for me. They sounded about as generic as the other bands that got signed to major labels at the tail end of hair metal's popularity. Granted, that scene had some great bands when it was just getting off the ground, but towards the end, it was churning out a lot of crap.

Love this song. One of my hidden gems. Cheesy video but you have to love the 80's babes, so hot.
More glam-funk. A genre of music that has completely been forgotten. But it seems to have been all the rage back in the day.
Heres some english: thanks for posting this. Great song, was not expecting to find it here!
AWESOME
Such a cool band from Norway , Ronni Le Tekro from TNT played the lead on this song
Nope..The Guitar player is swedish, and his first name is Staffan;)
Lars Blom he's right. Only on this song dies he does the lead. Lol. I met the singer. He told me that.
@@larsblom7770 Staffan played the rhythm guitar on this, everything on the rest.
Wait really? No wonder it sounded very much like his style

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) i'm so 18 agin
Kan noen tro at Pizzamannen, Lars Kilevold, har vært Heavyrocker? I tillegg er Torstein Bieler med i bandet, han var på 70-tallet kjent fra gruppa Broadway News med Lage Fosheim og Eivind Rølles. Man!
this is the original sons of angels(norwegians), not crush 40.
Muy buena banda che!!!...,encontre un disco en un blog!!...,tienen mas de 1 disco??
gracias por subirlo
Lol....now here it is!!!
Can you PLEASE tell us more about him and this band??! Info is IMPOSSIBLE to find. It took me 10 years or more to get a copy of the CASSETTE TAPE!
Fuck yeah momma
I remember when this debuted on the radio. That opening guitar riff hooked me in. The rest of the song is ok, not outstanding, but that guitar always grabs me.
Fantastisk :D
Saw them in London...that place..Hippodrome...
Are they still together? Where are they from? What's their history? Do they have an offical band website with bios and all that stuff?
This was Crush 40? :o
The new bands are nothing like the 80's. The 80's rocked whole lotta harder! We need new bands which eventually can play. Many of the bands of this new wave are just posers and can't play shit. Crazy Lixx new album will rock hard though. Their new guitarist And Lee Dawson has contributed a lot to Crazy Lixx. Thier new album will definitely be superior to everything else coming out of this wave!
Anyone remember the singers name by any chance?
Yeah really. But i'm sad....no live shows in 10 years.I need to go to Norway to ask for more material. It will happen one day!
The new kids on the block rock version hahaha
Nah, they were called Sons of Angels but had to change their name to Crush 40 because this band here already had the name.
at that point hard rock was losing "hard" and became just fm-rock,highly accepted by radio and mums....that's why it was killed by grunge.....and by the way,i love melodic rock!
All Hail Crush 40 - I mean Sons Of Angels XD
I know the Vokalist:D
he lives 100 meters from my home:D
Use Vdownloader or Atube.
haha cool, staffan william-olsson is my dad's cusin :P
I didn't know the Norwegians could rock the house
@neilvai you should know.
For me, that would be "Car girl". ;-)
are they crush 40? xD
koke doke i'm also wondering the same thing
No. Crush 40 had to change their name because this band already had "Sons of Angels"
Sons of Angels but 666 upvotes. Let me fix that.
Ah come on.....translate comments in english please!!
Have to clean up the business side of the industry first. They got a bunch of Hair bands back together, but it's a bad contract all around. The bands are f*ckin' screwed, but they don't admit it. Don't expect the fun music out of them much.
I can´t help me but he sometimes looks like Cameron Diaz :-D :-/

I always thought the lead singer sounded a bit like Billy Squier.
yeah a bit similar....
