Bio:

Stage Dolls is a Norwegian hard rock band based in Trondheim, Norway. In 1982, Erlend Antonsen and Terje Storli played at local clubs in and around Trondheim. In need of a guitarist they called on Torstein Flakne, who by then had finished playing in The Kids (a popular teeny-band in Norway 1980-82). Throughout the summer and fall of 1982 the newly formed band started rehearsing and playing shows in the region. The trio took the name Stage Dolls in January 1983. The first album, titled Soldier's Gun, was released in the early winter of 1985 after a successful nationwide tour in Norway supporting the Norwegian band TNT.Antonsen left the band in 1985 and was replaced by Steinar Krokstad; he in turn left in 1993 and was replaced by Morten Skogstad.The recordings for their next album Commandos started in the fall 1985. It peaked at no.8 in the Norwegian charts (VG) and set the band up as one of the most popular rockbands in Norway in 1986. The album was released in the US by Big Time Records and the title track Commandos gained considerable airplay on college-radio.The self-titled third album was recorded in the fall of 1987. It made it to the top of the charts in Norway, and in 1989 the band released the album on Chrysalis Records for the American market. The single "Love Cries" went to number 46 on the Billboard Singles Charts the same year. A second single for the song "Still in Love" was also released in America.

Album:

Universal Music Japan did it again, a new campaign of their ‘HR/HM 1000‘ series – the Limited Release reissue of long time out of print albums from their Hard Rock / Heavy Metal catalog at the price of 1000 Yen = about 9 USD.Now it’s time for the second 2022 batch, ”HR-HM 1000 Vol.5”. And as part of these there’s STAGE DOLLS self-titled album ”Stage Dolls” regarded by fans as their finest moment, combining AOR and Scandi Melodic Rock of the first order plenty of great songs and a lovely warm production.Only for the terrific song ‘Love Cries’ – one of the AOR pearls from the ’80s – you need to own this record, but the rest of the track list is to die for as well.For the most part Stage Dolls spent 1987 on the road, taking time off in the fall to go into the studio to record their third album. Frontman Torstein Flakne had met songwriter/musician Bobby Icon on a trip to the US in 1986 and they quickly got together writing-wise, setting up the songs for the album “Stage Dolls”, titled as the band as the focus was to release the group internationally.This was to be Stage Dolls most successful record, taking them to the top of the charts in Norway as well as sending them to the U.S. and the rest of Europe. Hits in Norway with both “Still in Love” and “Wings of Steel” made it into a platinum album there.But it was “Love Cries” what changed everything.In 1989, the band signed a deal with Chrysalis Records for the American market. They went over to the States that summer and promoted their single “Love Cries” which went top 3 in the “Album Rock” Chart and no.46 in the Billboard Singles Charts. Touring comprised headlining their own gigs, and also together with other bands, as Faster Pussycat, Warrant, and Blue Murder.Simply put, ”Stage Dolls” comprises all the best of Eighties AOR / Melodic Rock. It has that ‘American feeling’ – and that’s more ‘Canadian’ than USA – with the unique Scandinavian elegance.This is quality songwriting, smooth arrangements, atmospheres, melodies galore… A complete album for the genre, and a must have in your collection.Great reissue with the usual Japanese pressing / mastering quality.
