Bio:

Giuffria was an American rock band that was formed in 1983 by Gregg Giuffria after his departure from the band Angel, a glam rock/heavy metal band from Washington, D.C.Giuffria was formed as Gregg Giuffria's side project in 1982 after his departure from Angel. At the onset, Giuffria had intended to forge this project under the 'Angel' moniker, until several members of the now-defunct band took suit. The band's classic line-up consisted of Gregg Giuffria on keyboards,David Glen Eisley (lead vocalist), Craig Goldy (guitar), Chuck Wright (bass), and Alan Krigger (drums). Eisley had recently been vocalist for Los Angeles-based band Sorcery. Goldy had briefly been a member of hard rock/glam metal band Rough Cutt, while Wright had guested on several tracks on Quiet Riot's album, Metal Health,[1] although not an official member at the time. Tom Quinton played drums for several months in 1983-84 but was dumped in favor of long time session drummer Alan Krigger, who was deemed to have a better image than Quinton.Giuffria were signed to MCA Records in 1984. Their self-titled debut album Giuffria, soon followed, peaking at #26 on the album charts, while spawning two hit singles, "Call To The Heart" (Hot 100 #15) and "Lonely In Love" (Hot 100 #57).The band was the opening act for Deep Purple on the latter's 1984 reformation US tour. Throughout this tour, despite receiving rave reviews as the opening act, the members of Giuffria were subjected to poor treatment by Deep Purple lead guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who cut the band's set from 45 minutes to 25 minutes, also with no guitar solo and no encores.The band toured as opener on Foreigner's "Agent Provocateur" Tour, and enjoyed considerable success. The band played a few shows in Japan in June 1985 and a live video was released as "Giuffria Japan Tour '85". Giuffria was also featured on the Gotcha! soundtrack, with "Never Too Late" and "Say It Ain't True." A third track "What's Your Name?" featured Gregg Giuffria and David Glen Eisley, but was listed under the name Camelflage. Gregg would also produce several of the album's tracks.Giuffria's next album Silk and Steel, was released in 1986, following some lineup changes. Goldy had joined Dio and was replaced by guitarist Lanny Cordola while Wright returned to Quiet Riot (this time joining the band as an official member) and was replaced by Rick Bozzo and later David Sikes. First single "I Must be Dreaming" failed to hit the Top 40, peaking at #52, with the album peaking at #60 on the Billboard 200. A second single, "Love You Forever" was released, but label promotion was poor and aside from an American Bandstand performance of the single it quickly disappeared, failing to make the Hot 100.Giuffria left MCA in 1987 and disbanded shortly after recording demos for a third album, which included the return of bassist Chuck Wright. Some of these demos would eventually appear on the House of Lords debut album, and nine tracks from the Giuffria III sessions were included on David Glen Eisley's Lost Tapes release.On an episode of That Metal Show in 2010, guitarist Craig Goldy claims there is talk of a reunion of the band.

Album:

Album released in Japan, remastered, pressed on high quality SHM-CD and featuring a Carboard Sleeve miniLP package replicating the original artwork.Let’s go with “Giuffria”, the terrific self-titled debut from the band created by Gregg Giuffria, a must have for any AOR fan.Keyboard maestro Gregg Giuffria, who became prominent through the band Angel (with whom he released five albums), as soon Angel called it quits he founded Giuffria, to make sure that his keyboards got the role they deserved.Gregg enlisted excellent musicians in David Glen Eisley, who had recently been vocalist for Los Angeles-based rockers Sorcery, the great Craig Goldy (guitar), briefly a member of hard rock/glam metal band Rough Cutt, and talented session bass player Chuck Wright, at the time having recorded several tracks for Quiet Riot’s hit album, Metal Health.Giuffria were signed to MCA Records in 1984. Their self-titled debut album “Giuffria” soon followed, peaking at #26 on the album charts, while spawning two hit singles, ‘Call To The Heart’ (Hot 100 #15) and ‘Lonely In Love’ (Hot 100 #57).The band was the opening act for Deep Purple and Foreigner, and enjoyed considerable success. Giuffria played a few shows in Japan in June 1985 and a live video was released.All who adore keyboard-laden AOR can’t do without a copy of “Giuffria”. This album is simply stunning.Co-produced by legend Andy Johns, the album represents all we love in this marvelous musical genre.Gregg Giuffria sets the keyboards on fire, and the rest of the band fills in with melodic energy, with Goldy delivering sharp guitar licks and Eisley singing his heart out.Highlights include opener ‘Do Me Right’ (with swirling keyboards from the very start), the Journey-esque ‘Call To The Heart’ (I love this tune), the killer midtempo ballad ‘Lonely In Love’, the fantastic ‘Don’t Tear Me Down’ and the closing track ‘Out Of The Blue’ with a brilliant solo from Goldy.But… what I am saying? ALL tracks are pure gold!The sound on “Guiffria” is majestic, bombastic and haunting, combining the best of the seminal Pomp AOR with the ’80s commercial melodic hard rock. All tracks are superlative.This Japanese SHM-CD remastering sounds incredible, sadly now out of print. There’s a scheduled (not confirmed) SHM-CD re-release for 2016, but if you cand find a copy of this one you you’ll not regret it.
