    Platinum Blonde: Standing in the Dark is probably the definitive album of my childhood. I first heard it in 1986, when my brother got it for a high school graduation gift, and I made a copy (on cassette) which I played over and over all summer. Loved this song in particular, but that whole album holds a special place in my heart. I finally managed to get a copy on CD (for a lot of money) in 2002, and then the new remastered one in 2014. Still one of my personal favorites.

      Well subjectively I liked almost all of their songs, but the real reason they didn’t make it bigger was being signed on a label that only had them promoted and playing Canadian TV and radio during the peak of their releases. It wasn’t until Contact that they ventured outside of Canada on a different label, but unfortunately the era of that sound was over and also the band was self destructing from within.
      I got a lot of insight from Kenny over the course of our friendship.

      Loverboy, The Spoons, Bryan Adams, Neil Young, The Smashing Pumpkins; the list is long! The Extras did this really forward-looking song called 'The Watcher' about a stalker way before that kind of thing was current and Skinny Puppy invented Death Metal in 1984, years before Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails came along. Canadian bands had the problem though, of distribution. Canadian record companies couldn't easily get their records into USA stores, radio airplay opportunities were often few except on looser 'graveyard shift' programming after midnight and Canadian music TV programs weren't carried on any USA networks. So it was always a harder struggle for Canadian labels and artists had to try and sign with a USA label to break into the market. I think it made us work harder!

    Families friends with mark holmes, always heard he was in a group but it never clicked in my mind until one day I asked. Biggest shock was when I realized every year on Boxing Day I would be seeing the legend himself. Still amazes me to this day!

    Well it's about time! It's been a decade of me complaining about the quality of Platinum Blonde's online video presence. Big step up on this one going from a bootlegged Much Music video recorded on a VHS player in SLP mode to a fully remastered 1080p video! Great work & much thanks! Looking forward to working with you guys again when you next tour Winnipeg!

    Any jokes aside ..... these blokes were unique especially for a Canadian group.
    And they were honestly a very good band, with a lotta great power pop / punky songs. And that's all that really matters.

    Absolutely killer song. I first heard these guys in 2014 opening for Glass Tiger and was blown away. Went to see them at the CNE later that summer and then in Mississauga and Markham in 2015, Belleville in 2016 (where they opened for Vince Neil. Should have been the other way around!), and then again in Mississauga in 2019. Every time, they put on a hell of a show. Hoping I have a chance to see them again soon!

    Platinum Blonde started out as a PUNK Band, Check out their early stuff. I love ALL their LPs. MARK has 1 of the most Unique Voices ever, Even as a Skate-Punk/Metal Kid growing up I would BLAST Platinum blonde & even my punk friends said they had great riffs/bass lines etc etc. It be cool if PB would release a BLURAY with every Pro-Shot Video of Complete Concerts from the 1980s

    Saw them play the Coxheath Arena in Sydney Nova Scotia in summer 1984. My younger brother was smoking a joint in the back and the security guys spotted him, gave chase, but stopped at the doors. He didn't know that, kept running, and tried to jump a ditch, but it was too wide, he fell, and broke his leg. What a night.
