I have been listening to Dare Force. I heard they are recording a new album and are going to try to realease it in Europe and Japan. The lead singer is David Reece who played with Accept. John O'Neil & Brian Bart on Guitar, Brian Lorenson on Bass and Mark Miller on drums. I can't wait to hear the new stuff.
David Coverdale's post-Purple, pre-Whitesnake solo records from the laste 70s:
Northwinds
Whitesnake (album title)
If you've not heard these, I can best describe them as Bolin-era Purple mixed with early Whitesnake (of course), early 70s Stones and a HEAVY dose of soul/gospel (no kidding).
