Bio:
Swedish hard rock/ AOR band from Gothenburg.This band was just about the break, but something went wrong.The reason was actually that the record company president was busted for fraud. The first single was released in December 1987, but re-released with a new cover the year after as the band thought the cover was too ugly to be acceptable. Roy, Lennart and Morgan recorded a more rock-oriented single with the project Midnight Blue. It was actually a parallel project on the same label. Dick and Lennart formed Time Bomb Boys, that later became The Ungrateful. Lennart moved to the USA after the band's debut and there joined the band Elegantly Wasted. Morgan was later found in B-Thong and Glanzig, while Mikael and Roy were found in the band Gift. Börtner, ex-Steelemade, joined Innocent Rosie and Mikael was also in Easy Action.
Album:
Debut and last album.Excellent release for BOULEVARD back in 87 being a rawer edition of EUROPE trying to sound a bit rougher !the guitar work is truly great and the mane attraction and you ll find a lot of energy in the songs!"surrender","i m what you need" and "heart of a stranger " are the highlights!.The band's voice is a bit Don Dokken-esque with a slight quirkiness, but one of the twin guitarists moved to L.A. to teach guitar school and leads the songs with edgy L.A. metal-esque guitar riffs in many occasions. and catchy hard pop!The overall style of the album is Dokken with a sparkling and beautiful Scandinavian keyboard melody, and a hint of sleazy atmosphere, which can be enjoyed by both '80s Metal fans and '80s Hard Pop fans.The demo soundtrack also sounds old-fashioned, but it's good because it's full of '80s charm.It was reissued in 2012 by the German YesterRock label with three additional bonus tracks (demos) and digitally remastered by Dominoe's Robert Papst.
