Bio:

Circus of Power was the personification of East Coast sleaze rock during the late 80s and early 90s. Formed in the mid 1980s, during the burgeoning New York City club scene, the classic line-up of Alex Mitchell (vocals), Ryan Maher (drums), Ricky Beck Mahler (guitars), and Gary Sunshine (bass), were signed to RCA records and promptly released their seminal, self-titled debut album debut. Their brand of bluesy, bad-ass biker rock set the perfect backdrop for their lyrical swagger and stories of debauchery and depravity. A live EP, (1989's 'Still Alive'), and second full length, (1990's 'Vices'), continued their musical tradition and thrust the band towards new heights, securing major tours and MTV airplay. Line-up and label changes led to the third full length album, 1993's 'Magic and Madness' Released on Columbia Records, the album ushered in a more melodic sound for the band, while losing none of the grit that fans had grown to expect. The group disbanded in the mid-90s, and despite a few sporadic "reunion" gigs, Circus of Power has been largely inactive...until now. With a fresh new line-up, including Stoner Rock legend, Brant Bjork, commanding drumming duties, the band is set to release their first new material in a quarter of a century. Get ready to 'Motor' on down and revisit all of your old 'Vices', because C.O.P. is back!

Album:

Many of you have been asking for some old Rock Candy releases to complete collections, and here’s one that rocks great, CIRCUS OF POWER‘s self titled album fully remastered & reloaded including bonus tracks.Back in the 80s the Los Angeles rock scene cultivated spandex, glam and big, huge hair, whilst in New York a far grittier aesthetic was being honed; one that would promote the hard working, hard living ethos of an inner city blighted by forgotten neighbourhoods. The perfect backdrop, in fact, for the low-down high volume rock ‘n roll of no-frills minimalists such as Raging Slab, Smashed Gladys, and… Circus Of Power.COP, as they were commonly known amongst friends and fans, lived life on the edge; a trail blazing sound. Spotted by esteemed NYC-based producer Daniel Rey, they were snapped up, together with Raging Slab, by the giant RCA label, creating one of the strongest debut hard rock albums of the era.Raw, edgy and extremely dangerous Circus Of Power’s debut album, originally released in 1989, is a seething guitar-fuelled temper tantrum that remains as powerful today as it was when first released.While COP were instantly compared to Guns N’ Roses – same tattoo / street wise-leather and denim uniform – Circus Of Power’s debut has its own sound for sure. Lead singer Alex Mitchell sounds more like Ian Ashbury of The Cult than Axl Rose. And cut throat hard rock gems like ‘Motor’, ‘White Trash Queen’, ‘Backseat Mama’, ‘Machine’ and of course the most famous track here ‘Call Of The Wild’ alone let you know these guys had an authentic talent for manufacturing true spirited direct and no holds barred rock n’ roll.With a hint of more mature compositional skills, the highlight track ‘Needles’ starts with piano and a more dramatic feel, but its the only time the band dips out of the traditional ‘hips swaggering’ rock feel that personifies the record. It’s also a welcome change (albeit slight) in sound from the rest of the proceedings.Most people will be familiar with ‘Call Of The Wild’, it had a video that got significant MTV airplay (when music still mattered to them, remember the original Headbangers Ball?). So the song itself was their 15 min of fame, but as you can guess, there’s much more into this crackin’, rocking album.If you enjoy stripped down, bar-band-with-a-bite, blues guitar derived, driving rock n roll, this album is for you. It rocks, hard, with attitude. Very good Rock Candy remaster including bonus tracks, two of them previously unreleased.
