The lead singer is Kristen Massey. She is the older sister to Claire and Cathy Massey whom were in the Band Tami Show in the late 80's and early 90's. They had a hit with the song "The Truth" in 1991. Both are still active in music. Cathy is part of the Duo The InCantations and Claire is part of a David Bowie tribute Band in Chicago. Not sure what Kristen is up to. Talented Sisters! =)
Good Info: It's a song I always think of especially since the sound was & still is highly sophiticated & "not "dated" pre- Black / Euro / Atmospheric Metal before the term was coined, and bands like NIGHTWISH, Evanescence, & bands of the like burst onto the scene
Grew up in NE Oregon and been back for a long time, but late '70's-early '80's, I lived in and around Seattle. The rock stations there played this and another off the same CD, though I don't recall which, but I loved the song. After that, nothing until about 2011 or so and I found this. I listened to it over and over, finally my ex presented me with the CD she got on Amazon. Still have it, love it.
Darnell, A couple of things: The band was the brainchild of the lead guitarist, who also wrote a best selling nutrition book called "Eat To Win". Also in the band is bass player Jon Brandt, who had spent much of the early/mid 80's in a little band called Cheap Trick. And finally, this was the very first cd recorded DDD, which means Direct To Digital, which in turn means no tape. Recorded, mixed, mastered all on digital files. And now you know.
not quite true. DAT or digital audio tape was used back then as direct to disc or hard drive was not a full album recording medium until the time of the YES Talk album which was probably the first to be recorded straight to hard drive in 1994. "DDD" refers to: AAD - analog recording, analog mixing, digital transfer; ADD - analog recording, digital mixing, digital transfer, and; DDD - digital recording, digital mixing, digital transfer.
You're mixing up two different things. There were digitally records dating back to the early 70's, but this was the first one to be recorded using Synclavier's Direct-To-Disc system. Don't ask me what the difference, but apparently there is. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_recording
Way back, my sister-in-law worked for a rock radio station. After I suffered a horrific bicycle crash, she gave me a bunch of CD's the radio station received. This CD single was among them and I loved it. Never saw the video until now. All these many years, I never thought of this song - it was a bad head injury. Maybe the anniversary of the crash made me think of it, 10/1989. WOW, Kristin Massey is hot!
Saw them as Siren when I was stationed at Patrick AFB, FL. I think the venue was in Hollywood, FL. I remember it being smaller and having a front row seat. Tried to get them to sign my CD liner as they were doing their farewell from the stage after the last number but no such luck. I'm now 58 years young and this song (and album) brings back great memories.
Dream-Rock, Gothy Post-punk, LA Glam-Metal, Ethereal-Progressive, All in One Amazing 80s track, from an underrated 80s Hard Rock band! I remember hearing this in my youth, and being completely entranced by the Vocal-contrast of the lead singer's voice, incredible guitar work, the moody post-punk rhythm. It was a sound, way ahead of it's time! Love the deep mysterious Meditative vocals in the verses, and the Heavenly Choirsin the chorus! This has always been way too good for the Bar rock and Glam metal scene, that I know!
Likewise: it's Black / Euro Metal before the term was coined, and bands like NIGHTWISH & the like emerged; this was a great track, & it was the 1st Digitally recorded album as well.
This song was in one of my dreams last night. I hadn't thought about or heard it in 30 years. I used to have the Siren tape. "This means something...." (my kids look at me like I'm nuts)
me too after 30 years this song just popped into my head again not in a dream but in my thoughts suddenly and to me yes it means something beautiful song though
Let them look (the kids); there were many viable bands in the "so called "Hair Metal era, & this was one of them: people have forgotten the value of LIVE playing & instrumental prowess; I love electronic music, particularly the style that was criticized during this era of metal, w/ instruments & keyboards, but Top 40 is too programmed & homogenized now.
There's plenty more female led acts now, but when this was released, VIXEN (all girl) & SARAYA, led by vocalist Sandy Saraya were up & coming, PAT BENATAR was on the tail end of her run, LITA FORD & HEART were still kicking, before VERUCA SALT came along & a host of alt rock ladies, the DEAL SISTERS in the Pixies & The Breeders as a solo sister band, Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette, Jewel, Melissa Etheridge, KD Lang, Indigo Girls, & so on before the new wave of hard, progressive metal maidens arrived: NIGHTWISH, Evanescence, IN THIS MOMENT, Flyleaf, PARAMORE, Halestorm, etc. SIREN's sound was, before the latter mentioned bands came along, Black / Euro / Atmospheric Metal before the phrase was coined; and to further your point, it was a mystery & a shame this band didn't have the success the aforementioned did w/ a vocalist like this: this song / album was always a benchmark for polished, sophisticated, & not "dated" rock.
Maybe digital direct to disc this is the first but there were plenty of 1970s analog Direct to Disc albums many advertising it as such. I own the 1978 Direct to Disc LP by Canadian band FM (which is the album Ben Mink joined replacing Nash the Slash).
i have the whole album including the hit single and number 1 "how dare a woman" and the smash hits "love shuts down" "don't let go" & "one good lover" amazing 80 rock sound from Siren!
I had the Disc back in '89. They went by "Siren". A one hit wonder to say the least, however they had potential. The lead singer's name is Kristen Massey. They originated from new York. I think they had a song from this album that was used in the movie "My Step Mother is an Alien".
Correct; that's what was said when the Video premiered; had that polished sound; one of those songs u don't forget; ahead of its time, w/ a sound that preceded what would later be called Black / Euro / Atmospheric Metal
It was: (1st Digital single /LP), and it's Atmospheric Black / Euro Metal before the phrase was coined; silky smooth, sophisticated, and underrated. people would be shocked upon finding out this was a 1989 release, because it doesn't sound "dated" ...
Correct: they were SIREN when the track was released; didn't know they slightly changed it: I'm curious as to why; maybe to start fresh, or a copyright thing, not sure
Heard this song ONCE on radio probably 1989, searched. forever, thought it was Rush. (Not a big Rush fan, Mahogany Rush -HUGE!!). Still like this song. Looked for Pretty Woman - Albert King for years too. Heard once while in Army years and years ago. For those great info comments posted here, Thanks!
I saw them as Siren when I worked at Foxies Lounge in Coeur d’Alene, ID and loved them. Had the cassette tape that is probably still in my attic after a couple moves. I chatted up the Lead Singer and she was super cool. Finding this on TH-cam made me wonder why they’re not on Apple Music
Agreed; like many cutting - edge singles released on " Night Tracks" which was on either TNT or TBS, MTV / Radio rarely added this & many songs from it 2 their rotation: Definitely should be on all the existing platforms: I would be as shocked as yourself if I didn't take off on some level; Doesn't sound "dated" & it truth be told, it's Black / Euro Atmospheric Metal before the phrase was coined.
I thought it was played on TBS's Night Tracks & never made the MTV rotation; my memory is starting to fail me, lol: but not when it comes to the song & the slick sound. High level "ahead of its time" metal
I'm from NE Oregon and have been back here for years, but I was in the Seattle area for 12 years-1978-1990. Like you said, KXRX used to play this, I don't know about KISW. I remember finding the album later and the cover was quite different. I was surprised when I moved back to Oregon, and no one had heard of them, though the forced name change might have been a problem. I remember Roy Otis too, and Bill Nye the Science Guy would have those little, short things in the afternoon, then gotta go! I don't know if they are still on here, but someone recorded the Leave it to Beaver 1980's from KISW. I laughed my ass off when I heard them again. There were a couple of times going across the 520 bridge in the morning from the U-District to Bellevue to work that I may have had a close call from laughing. I found this a long time ago and mentioned to my ex how much I like the band but could never find any CD's. She came up with one on Amazon. I still listen to it.
Saw them around 79' to 83', much younger then, very hot band live. Still played as Siren. They looked like they did in the album photo, not the video. Heard they didn't make it because of argument with record company. Heard that from musician at the time. I think they're from long Island.
I wondered what killed the band, because the song is a vivid memory, from the polished sound & vocals to it being documented as the 1st digital single / LP; and what a single it was: they should have been a super - group, no question; too much talent to not be. Only a story like u stated prevented it from happening.
They (KLBJ)were one of the few because it never got play in our area, and MTV rarely, if ever added cutting - edge singles to their rotation from the Night Tracks Video show: and this was cutting - edge; 1st digital single release / LP, w/ a sophisticated sound that was, Black / Euro / Atmospheric Metal long before the term was coined.
An absolutely smoking hot song and video. I remember thinking at the time that nothing else sounded like it. I believe the singers name is Kristin Massey. There was another band called "The Tami Show" with 2 girls who looked just like her, with the same last name Massey. I'm quite sure they were her younger sisters!
They were (her sisters), and the SIREN sound was Black / Euro / Atmospheric Metal long before the term was coined, & the bands that fall in that category, be it Evanescence, NIGHTWISH, & so on...
I still have the original Siren cassette tape from the 80s. I bought it because of this song alone and didn't like any of the rest of them. None of the rest of the songs sound much like it.
Couldn't find this on iTunes but there were several used CDs on eBay. Can't wait to have this in my library again 30 years after buying the cassette and eventually losing it like most old tapes.
I bought this CD in 1989 I love the CD the only did 1 CD this group in 1989 was just called siren now they are red siren believe it or not this group is still around look on iTunes
I've had their CD since it came out way back when and, thanks to the iPod, I hear songs off it every so often, but I hadn't even known this video existed until I saw it just now. Kristen should have spent more time smiling.
I remember the night it was released on a TBS or TNT Video show called " Night Tracks, and it being introduced as the 1st Digital single / LP: sophisticated, not "dated" ...it's Black / Euro / Atmospheric Metal before the phrase was coined.
1st digital recording: This was "the jam" and an under-rated one @ that: SIREN was, along w/ SARAYA & VIXEN, part of the "female led" band era that "preceded " Evanescence, HALESTORM, Paramore, NIGHTWISH, Flyleaf & In This Moment, to name a few
First time i heard this song was in the early nineties, on 94 WHJY Rock station, in Providence, Rhode Island. Then i went and bought the single on a ... tape. I still got the tape, and it's under the name "Siren". Not Red Siren.
Red Siren just released their new project, RECOVERED. The songs are available on iTunes< CD Baby and other digital distribution sites. They're also available on a limited edition USB flash drive from the band's website, RedSirenBand.
Agreed; 1st digital single / album, great riff, nice voice, and in totality, it's "Black Metal" / Euro / Atmospheric Rock before the phrase was coined, & bands like NIGHTWISH, Evanescence, IN THIS MOMENT, & bands of the like, female led in many cases, burst on the scene: Very sophisticated, silky smooth & polished production: Extremely underrated song from the often criticized "Hair Metal" era.
Only heard this a handful of times back in the day and somehow never even realized the singer was a girl. Def not disappointed lol. This band should have gone further than they did. The had the chops and definitely the looks lol
I had this cassette tape. I wasn't a bit fan of that album. The rock aspect seemed very generic and their sound just didn't have that "punch" but this song had something about it. Maybe it's the mood of it. It reminds me of being in high school, living on the edge of town, going for long walks to the White Hen wearing my Walkman. Interesting memory.
terrabus1 I remember the cassette had a sticker saying "Featuring Michael Angelo". It was the first time I'd ever heard of him. Then... Nitro. Damn I miss being 16.

Thought I was the only person who loved this song! I'm still playing it 30+ years later...brings back a lot of memories
I remember this great song, back then they were just known as SIREN.
Anyone else listening to this in 2021? I remember when this song came out. Still rocks!!
Yep. Still have the rare CD.
Listening in 2023! Loved this song and album...I originally knew them as Red Siren.
The lead singer is Kristen Massey. She is the older sister to Claire and Cathy Massey whom were in the Band Tami Show in the late 80's and early 90's.

I remember that. The radio DJ always had to make a point of it before playing this track. Direct to Digital.
not quite true. DAT or digital audio tape was used back then as direct to disc or hard drive was not a full album recording medium until the time of the YES Talk album which was probably the first to be recorded straight to hard drive in 1994.

You forgot to mention...Pat Benetar!!!!!
This was all recorded on a Synclavier, all digital, no tape.

Got this on cassette under the Siren moniker and proceeded to play it to death!! This was a great band that deserves to be remembered!
Pat Benetar.
I also had this on cassette. Now if can't be found anywhere and is forgotten.
@@j.d.thompson3505 The band is still around.. Just had a release in 2017. Page shows 2021 so recently updated.
redsirenband.com/
I got the album Red Siren on CD from EBay
Her sisters are Clare and Cathy Massey of the Band Tami Show. They had a hit with "The Truth" in 1991. All three sisters sound a like. :-)
How did I miss this one and am now just discovering it after all these years? This is AWESOME!
Better late than never, glad you got to hear it! 🤓🎧🎶
Dude I was 18 and remember this awesome song!
She was a one hit wonder.
I remember this band as just Siren from MTV. I always loved this song. ❤️
Way back, my sister-in-law worked for a rock radio station. After I suffered a horrific bicycle crash, she gave me a bunch of CD's the radio station received. This CD single was among them and I loved it. Never saw the video until now. All these many years, I never thought of this song - it was a bad head injury. Maybe the anniversary of the crash made me think of it, 10/1989. WOW, Kristin Massey is hot!
Love this song. At the time, some people were weirded out by the harmonies on the chorus, but that's what made it stand out.
Thats my favorite part of the song. 😄
Saw them as Siren when I was stationed at Patrick AFB, FL. I think the venue was in Hollywood, FL. I remember it being smaller and having a front row seat. Tried to get them to sign my CD liner as they were doing their farewell from the stage after the last number but no such luck.

KISW played this song and "Pretty" from Guadalcanal Diary at night. Great tunes and missing the 80's. Salute all and Best Regards and Best Wishes!

I still have the cassette tape with them named "Siren". Before CDs. Shows how old I am. I also have lots of vinyl records of classic stuff.
She is very sexy. Just want to hold her.
Scott Blackburn my first husband gave me this cassette tape when we were dating. I loved it. I guess I'm showing my age 2!
Me too, I had it. I loved it. Brings back memories.....love melodic guitars.
Me too!
Me too
Robert Haas-guitar, Greg Potter-drums, Kristin Massey- vocals, Jon Brandt- bass
This song was in one of my dreams last night. I hadn't thought about or heard it in 30 years. I used to have the Siren tape. "This means something...." (my kids look at me like I'm nuts)
me too after 30 years this song just popped into my head again not in a dream but in my thoughts suddenly and to me yes it means something beautiful song though

The most accurate. Wonderful. I wish I knew of this group years ago.
With such an absence of great female vocalists in rock. this band was sadly looked over.. Great LP
There's plenty more female led acts now, but when this was released, VIXEN (all girl) & SARAYA, led by vocalist Sandy Saraya were up & coming, PAT
BENATAR was on the tail end of her run, LITA FORD & HEART were still kicking, before VERUCA SALT came along & a host of alt rock ladies, the DEAL
SISTERS in the Pixies & The Breeders as a solo sister band, Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette, Jewel,

Heard this song on Sirius radio back in 2010. Played the hell out of it that day. Then again and again on TH-cam.
Luv way it starts. Lucky enuff to see them outside where all bands were only given 3 songs to preform.
I remember that this was hyped as the first rock record made" entirely with digital technology". So this may be more important than it seems.
Perhaps. I was just pointing out this track's historical value, no subtext implied.
D Snodgrass your right about that..!!
The first direct to disc
ZZ top did it before this with the eliminator album,and subsequently,the afterburner album...
Maybe digital direct to disc this is the first but there were plenty of 1970s analog Direct to Disc albums many advertising it as such. I own the 1978 Direct to Disc LP by Canadian band FM (which is the album Ben Mink joined replacing Nash the Slash).
i have the whole album including the hit single and number 1 "how dare a woman" and the smash hits "love shuts down" "don't let go" & "one good lover"
amazing 80 rock sound from Siren!
I am a 80s lover!
I found this song in an old second hand store and I'm so glad I found a copy,
I absolutely love it !!
One of the few things I remember about 1989 but I Do remember how good this sounded cranked in my Susuki Samurai.
Red Siren released an album of Led Zeppelin songs in 2020. I got the CD on iTunes because CDs sound so much better than digital. It's FIRE!!!
ummm... CDs ARE digital...
I had the Disc back in '89. They went by "Siren". A one hit wonder to say the least, however they had potential. The lead singer's name is Kristen Massey. They originated from new York. I think they had a song from this album that was used in the movie "My Step Mother is an Alien".
Claim to fame on this song was it the first all digital recording on cd. Used to Analog to digital on early cds.
Correct; that's what was said when the Video premiered; had that polished sound; one of those songs u don't forget; ahead of its time, w/ a sound
that preceded what would later be called Black / Euro / Atmospheric Metal
Ahhh....another long forgotten old 80's jam. These were the days. Now to dig up some Micheal Sweet & Stryper :) 80's on the brain I tell ya!
When I bought the CD when it came out, rumor was that this album was the 1st FULLY digital album from beginning to end. NO TAPES
It was: (1st Digital single /LP), and it's Atmospheric Black / Euro Metal before the phrase was coined; silky smooth, sophisticated, and underrated.
people would be shocked upon finding out this was a 1989 release, because it doesn't sound "dated" ...
Freaking love this song! One of my all time favorite 80's songs.
Wonderful Song that should have been given more play!
I remember when this was released , I heard it on 97 WLAV FM
Hear this song on Rock 108 in Albuquerque and I got the album.. great album..
Red Siren? I bought that on CD back in the 90s and I swear the cover said just "Siren."
Correct: they were SIREN when the track was released; didn't know they slightly changed it: I'm curious as to why; maybe to start fresh, or a copyright thing, not sure
Heard this song ONCE on radio probably 1989, searched. forever, thought it was Rush. (Not a big Rush fan, Mahogany Rush -HUGE!!). Still like this song. Looked for Pretty Woman - Albert King for years too. Heard once while in Army years and years ago.
For those great info comments posted here, Thanks!
Good song by Red Siren.
the band is called SIREN and ALL IS FORGIVEN album and was released by the record label in 1989 Poligram ... I have the whole album in LP format
there were infringement issues with that name; hence why they had to later change it to red siren. I too have the album cassette and cd .
I saw them as Siren when I worked at Foxies Lounge in Coeur d’Alene, ID and loved them. Had the cassette tape that is probably still in my attic after a couple moves. I chatted up the Lead Singer and she was super cool. Finding this on TH-cam made me wonder why they’re not on Apple Music
Her sisters are Clare and Cathy Massey of the Band Tami Show. They had a hit in 1991 called "The Truth". All three talented sisters.
Agreed; like many cutting - edge singles released on " Night Tracks" which was on either TNT or TBS, MTV / Radio rarely added this & many songs from it 2 their rotation: Definitely should be on all the
existing platforms: I would be as shocked as yourself if I didn't take off on some level; Doesn't sound "dated" & it truth be told, it's Black / Euro Atmospheric Metal before the phrase was coined.
Best forever. Got this on vinyl.
I still have this album... love the ONLY good song on it. Glad to see the video. Lead guitarist is HOT!!
Her voice is gifted
So special
My wife *still* has their CD (while I was still into cassettes). It's the original moniker, "Siren."
Excellent band
She has the voice of an angel
What else do you need? :-) Great song, great voice, great groove.
Glad to have the record in my collection, still one of my favorite song!
I have this album on vinyl and I love it
I remember when Adam Curry premiered this on MTV. Also, she looks like Stacey Q
I thought it was played on TBS's Night Tracks & never made the MTV rotation; my memory is starting to fail me, lol: but not when it comes to the song & the slick sound. High level "ahead of its time" metal
heard this band on KXRX back in the 80's...Roy Ottis was the king
Yeah, late 1980s. I still have the Siren cassette. I miss Seattle Blues and Norman B.
I'm from NE Oregon and have been back here for years, but I was in the Seattle area for 12 years-1978-1990. Like you said, KXRX used to play this, I don't know about KISW. I remember finding the album later and the cover was quite different. I was surprised when I moved back to Oregon, and no one had heard of them, though the forced name change might have been a problem. I remember Roy Otis too, and Bill Nye the Science Guy would have those little, short things in the afternoon, then gotta go!

I found this a long time ago and mentioned to my ex how much I like the band but could never find any CD's. She came up with one on Amazon. I still listen to it.
excellent 80's glam rock, I remember hearing this in '86.what ever happened to them,I mean they disappeared.
I still have this on CD . Such a great cd
Saw them around 79' to 83', much younger then,
very hot band live. Still played as Siren. They looked
like they did in the album photo, not the video.
Heard they didn't make it because of argument with
record company. Heard that from musician at the time.
I think they're from long Island.
I wondered what killed the band, because the song is a vivid memory, from the polished sound & vocals to it being documented as the 1st digital single / LP; and what a single it was: they should have been a
super - group, no question; too much talent to not be. Only a story like u stated prevented it from happening.
KLBJ-FM in Austin gave this tune quite a bit of airplay back in '89.
They (KLBJ)were one of the few because it never got play in our area, and MTV rarely, if ever added cutting - edge singles to their rotation from the Night Tracks Video show: and this was cutting - edge; 1st
digital single release / LP, w/ a sophisticated sound that was, Black / Euro / Atmospheric Metal long before the term was coined.
An absolutely smoking hot song and video.
I remember thinking at the time that nothing else sounded like it. I believe the singers name is Kristin Massey. There was another band called "The Tami Show" with 2 girls who looked just like her, with the same last name Massey. I'm quite sure they were her younger sisters!
They are her sisters. ;-)
They were (her sisters), and the SIREN sound was Black / Euro / Atmospheric Metal long before the term was coined, & the bands that fall in that category, be it Evanescence, NIGHTWISH, & so on...
The Bass Player is Jon Brandt, who played with Cheap Trick while Tom Peterson was taking a break.
Brad Anderson What happened with Brandt ? Loved the whole album back in 89! The singer really looks like Pat Benatar, is that she?
I still have the original Siren cassette tape from the 80s. I bought it because of this song alone and didn't like any of the rest of them. None of the rest of the songs sound much like it.
Couldn't find this on iTunes but there were several used CDs on eBay. Can't wait to have this in my library again 30 years after buying the cassette and eventually losing it like most old tapes.
I usually don't even like this kind of stuff, but I love this one
AWESOME performance. Love the album too.
This was the first album recorded completely digitally.
I love this band and this video!!!
I bought this CD in 1989 I love the CD the only did 1 CD this group in 1989 was just called siren now they are red siren believe it or not this group is still around look on iTunes
It came out on a mixed compilation when I first heard it in the 80s ,heaps of mad songs on the same album
Great melody... Likee...
They were forced to change their name. Soon after this release, they were informed that there was already another band called Siren.
I've had their CD since it came out way back when and, thanks to the iPod, I hear songs off it every so often, but I hadn't even known this video existed until I saw it just now. Kristen should have spent more time smiling.
I remember the night it was released on a TBS or TNT Video show called " Night Tracks, and it being introduced as the 1st Digital single / LP:
sophisticated, not "dated" ...it's Black / Euro / Atmospheric Metal before the phrase was coined.
Good song! ❤👍
1st digital recording: This was "the jam" and an under-rated one @ that: SIREN was, along w/ SARAYA & VIXEN, part of the "female led" band era that "preceded " Evanescence,

They were SIREN when the track, 1st digital single / album btw, was played on TV: "Stereo & Neighborhood on Fire" track
My high school song.12th. Awesonm times. I enjoyed them.
Robert Haas! This guy is brilliant!
Very good song.
Heard this one on KLBJ fm, 4 the first time in the mid80s.😲
I really liked hearing this in the 80s, but the video...well.
amazing talent
THREE WORDS YOU'LL NEVER EVER HEAR A WOMAN SAY !!!😈😈😈
What an awesome song!
"You can see yourself in..both sides.."
Never heard of this band...but I like it. Good song.
i looked for this song online for years, finally i found it
Forgive others so that you will be forgiven
Super band !!!!
I went to high school with the younger brother of their drummer.
What high school?
Great Song!
Red Siren just released their new project, RECOVERED. The songs are available on iTunes< CD Baby and other digital distribution sites. They're also available on a limited edition USB flash drive from the band's website, RedSirenBand.
Gregg Potter on drums. That guy is awesome.
Gregg Potter didn't play drums on the album. All drums were programmed on the Synclavier® by Robert Haas and Mike Howlett.
xx| Adore this song and so glad to see someone else adored them enough to post this vid. K-U-D-O-S to you! |xx
Agreed; 1st digital single / album, great riff, nice voice, and in totality, it's "Black Metal" / Euro / Atmospheric Rock before the phrase was coined, &
bands like NIGHTWISH, Evanescence, IN THIS
MOMENT, & bands of the like, female led in many cases, burst on the scene: Very sophisticated, silky smooth & polished production: Extremely underrated song from the often criticized "Hair Metal" era.
Only heard this a handful of times back in the day and somehow never even realized the singer was a girl. Def not disappointed lol. This band should have gone further than they did. The had the chops and definitely the looks lol
I had this cassette tape. I wasn't a bit fan of that album. The rock aspect seemed very generic and their sound just didn't have that "punch" but this song had something about it. Maybe it's the mood of it. It reminds me of being in high school, living on the edge of town, going for long walks to the White Hen wearing my Walkman. Interesting memory.

I remember the cassette had a sticker saying "Featuring Michael Angelo". It was the first time I'd ever heard of him. Then... Nitro. Damn I miss being 16.
Really badass track. Love it!!!
right
This was my favorite song for a while when the album came out. I had the CD longbox but then it got water damage and my mom threw it out.
This song kicks so much ass.
Ha! This song always stumps Shazam!
This is such a great song and video! Just love the classics! ; )
Tout est pardonné.
They got sued by another band that had rights to that name, so they had to change it! Same thing happened to Green Jello/jelly!
you done yourself proud
@hameron----Quite right, but as this song proves, I thought they had incredible potential. Just glad I got a hold of the CD before it became extinct.
GOD bless GOD
