Retro CD review: WARRANT's 'Born Again'.
Today is the 20th year anniversary of the release of Warrant's first studio album without Jani Lane.

“If your love of Warrant begins and ends with Jani Lane, this may remain a difficult sell. But if you’re simply looking for a dose of unapologetic, old-school hard rock with hooks, attitude, and guitar crunch … Born Again is worth giving another spin.” https://t.co/a18cnVF2Ah
Company of Wolves, let's talk about it. Apparently this band has a cult following- Are you in it? I'm going in blind here- I know very little about them other than they are a hard rock/glam metal band from the US and this is their 1990 debut. If I like it, I mean *really* like it, do I need to get a track suit and black Nikes? Maybe some of those Jeff D. glasses? Hopefully I can just love it without giving all my money away so fingers crossed! 😁🤞
Now Playing : Headpins - Head Over Heels
I am just so excited. For the first time since 1990, I get to hear Headpins third album, the only one I had back in the day.
Incredibly it has never been released on CD. I can't think of any other band of Headpins stature, to still have albums unreleased on CD. (In terms of stature they toured with many major acts and their second album went multi platinum. One single also dented the Billboard 100).
Anyway, this compilation (which in itself is quite rare) contains 6 of the 10 original album tracks, so it's as close as I'm going to get. The other 4 I have sourced via one means or another.
I remember Hot Stuff being my favourite track.
If you don't know Headpins and you like hard hitting melodic rock, then you're definitely missing out as they were fantastic.
Today marks the day of Robbin Crosby’s passing. Not only was he part of one of the best hard rock bands of all time, but also produced the debut album by another stellar outfit. A double toast to King & Lillian Axe @thelillianaxe@ColdasBryyyce@RobbCar13@pb1505thfc@LindaS72
Kik Tracee's No Rules is one of the most underrated hard rock albums of the early '90s. Released just as grunge was taking over, it combined sleaze, hooks, attitude, and surprisingly adventurous songwriting. "You're So Strange" alone should have made them stars.
