220 Volt

[MysticX9]

Cool band from long ago (actually still active) - here's a video
I found on YouTube, didn't even know they had one for this song!

[TXHOSER]

In high school they handed out a two or three song cassette if you bought the paper that month. It wasn't bad. We were told you would get a cassette but we were assuming it would be rap or some other crap. This was in '89 or '90 and it was a pleasant surprise.
I still have it but it was no surpise it never really took off. I think one Europe was enough. Also, saturating the Seguin, Texas market probably wasn't enough to push them over the edge.

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Very cool band..... I remember a guitar player I worked for having a preset on his rack called "220 Flange" that was used in their cover of "I'm On Fire"

They sound like Europe? Then, I'll definitely check 'em out...

Holy crap, I knew this band name sounded familiar for some reason...and I think I may have a heat-melted copy of that cassette somewhere still, too!

Yes, with Seguin's metal masses pushing them, how could they fail?! (I guess BOTH of us should have done more).

"The Great Escape" from their "Lethal Illusion" cd is AWESOME! It starts like old lady rock and then just opens up in a nice, hard rock driving style. Brilliant!

More like early Europe, they did get more commercial on EYE TO EYE, which is the album I think TXHOSER's cassette sampler came from. Excellent melodic metal, if you like that early Europe sound definitely check them out...
