Album:

The debut album from Torino is a wonderfully crafted piece of AOR from a band who’s relative inexperience is not apparent.They show here that they can adapt to whatever is required with the song, taking in ballads and rock belters with the utmost of ease. There is clearly passion here, and the album certainly reflects that. This is a slice of AOR heaven.Strong rockers with incisive keyboards, powerful vocals and good production.In the same ligue of Shy, Moritz, After Hours. Shy's lead vocalist Tony Mills did some background vocals.Produced by the great Steve Morris (Export, Heartland, Shadowman) and released by the legendary label FM Revolver.Although Stuart Fox and Brian Dixon had worked together since August 1984, it was only in April 1987 that the Torino line-up was fully assembled, with the addition of Paul Diamond and Brian McKeown. Diamond had previously achieved success with Manchester-based Rox, who supported Quiet Riot on their UK tour in 1983.Named after an American car as well as the Italian town, Turin, the band set about recording their first demo. Produced by Mick Devenport, guitarist with Nutz and Rage, it was described by Metal Forces magazine as “Sheer class”.Based in Liverpool, Torino continued to play the national club circuit, including major support slots with the likes of Shy.After signing to FM-Revolver, the band proceeded to record their debut album ‘Customized’ under the production auspices of Steve Morris, guitarist with Export, who had recorded two albums for Epic in the USA, the second of which (‘Living In The Fear Of The Private Eye’) was produced by Lance Quinn (Bon Jovi/Lita Ford etc). The album was released in March 1988.The band and the album were received with some acclaim: “Customized is a pretty damn fine all round effort…Good chunky guitaring…A decidedly decent release” Geoff Barton. Editor, Kerrang. “Torino went from good to great, from melodic to exquisite…tasty guitar beyond my wildest expectations”.Derek Oliver. Kerrang.
