[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4522916, member: 19675"] The purpose of this thread is to talk about those bands you loved that just didn't catch on (at least in your home country) or made some kind of contribution to rock that has been overlooked. The one caveat- they must have released at least one album on a national or international label- bands who only released albums in their city or state don't count. [B]Follow For Now:[/B] a quintet out of Atlanta who were poised and polished. I thought they'd be the next Living Colour...but they only released one album. It was a classic, though. [B]Satan Jokers:[/B] Mötley Crüe wannabes from France. Even though I understand only a little French, I found [I]Le Fils du Metal[/I] to be solid 80's hair-metal. I think they only released 2 albums. [B]24-7 Spyz:[/B] another black band that blasted through the doorway that Living Colour and Bad Brains opened. They combined funk and metal with some of the most pyrotechnic vocals heard on any black metal band- that's metal bands comprised of black people, not "black metal"- courtesy of Peter Fluid. Fluid left to found the band Fluid Foundation and has not been heard from since. 24-7 Spyz has had several releases in a career full of lineup changes and a hiatus only exceeded in length by bands like Boston or Return to Forever. [B]Eye & I:[/B] this band opened up for Ice-T and Bodycount...and went nowhere after their occasionally blistering, occasionaly mellow first and only CD. They were one of the few heavy black bands of the era fronted by a woman. I saw that live act in Austin. 90% of the crowd was there to see Ice-T's 2 bands, and one guy was drunk enough to heckle...and the 5' nothin' DK Dyson shut him down, thereby gaining the crowd's loyalty for the rest of their set. With additional musicians and backers like Bernie Worrell, Brian Jackson and Vernon Reid, this band should have gone somewhere besides the "Where are they now?" file. [/QUOTE]
