When New York's Spread Eagle hit the metal scene in 1989, many early fans recognized that they were different from the established glam and sleaze metal bands of the late-80s. A self-styled "Street Metal" act, Rob De Luca, Paul DiBartolo, Ray West and Tommy Gallo produced two hard-hitting, raw and uncompromising albums within just a few short years. Alas, as the music industry shifted its focus away from metal in the 90s, Spread Eagle, like so many bands of the era, was a casualty. But like so many great bands from the 80s, Spread Eagle reformed, released another outstanding record, and as of the time of this recording, are still touring and delivering on stage to long-time fans and new coverts.
