Bio:

Glam hard rock band from New Jersey, earlier known as Buff The Musket.Featured at one point future Heavens Edge guitarist Reggie Wu.Ivory Tower flourished in the 1980's as a studio band-producing, playing, and writing songs for other artists. We developed our own thing on our own time and took it to the clubs. On the strength of many hot club dates all over the Northeast, and the L.P. "Heart of the City", we became very popular at the time. We recorded material for a second album, (which Chavis Records is considering releasing), but the music biz changed radically, and quickly, leaving us and our second album out to dry.Band played with Cinderella, LA Guns, Britny Fox, etc. in the past.Heart Of The City is the debut disc from this talented quartet, and it is a good example of melodic metal. The band reminds me of Bonfire and Dokken. Songs like the incredible “Ready To Roll”, “Heart Of The City” and “Raise Some Hell” really rock. The tune “Givin’ It All To You” shows Ivory Tower‘s softer side.The album was originally released in 1998 and sold over 10,000 copies, but in 2002 it was re-released on compact disc via Chavis Records. A new album is due for release in 2003. Ivory Tower looks and sounds good, I see a lot of potential here. Heart Of The City gets two thumbs up!

Album:

Let’s welcome a new reissue label called Aqua Net Records. Aqua Net is an American brand of hair spray notable for its popularity especially in the ’80s, used by all rock n’ roll bands from the era, which derived into the so called ‘hair metal’.Yes, Aqua Net Records will be specialized into obscure, rare, hard to find albums / bands from the genre.The label start operations with AQN01, the remastered reissue on CD of IVORY TOWER‘s “Heart Of The City“.Originally released in 1988 by indie label Wolfe Records (home of BRITNY FOX and TANGIER first recordings) “Heart Of The City” is a fine document of the heavier side of the 80s U.S. Glam scene plenty of crunchy guitars and catchy melodies, and finally is being reissued on CD with its original LP cover just like the very rare original CD press. Strictly Limited edition of 300 copies.IVORY TOWER released only this album and sold over 10,000 copies in their native New Jersey area, but unfortunately due some internal problems the band shortly vanished leaving behind a cult following until today.Songs like “Raise Some Hell”, “Ready To Roll”, and title track “Heart Of The City” rock hard with an anthemic feel-good vibe, while “Fallin’ in Love Again” and “Love Is a Game” showcase the band’s most hair metal, party-ready side.Of course there’s a power ballad, the strong “Givin’ It All To You”.“Heart Of The City” was reissued in 2002 but with an annoying cover artwork. This Aqua Net Records 2020-2021 (in some countries will be available next year) brings back the original, and fundamentally, delivers a clear remaster noticeably improving the sound – the album’s production wasn’t the best – quality.
