Uh, oh! You either don't have the Flash plug-in installed, or you have it disabled.
Otherwise, there'd be a cute lil' streaming audio player on the left, rather than this message.
Hellcats
Hellcats
12" EP
(Radio Records, 1982)
The cover of this Hellcats record jumped off the new release rack at me back when I was in my early days of college. I took one look and determined it was a complete rip-off of the Starz logo. Picking it up and flipping it over revealed just exactly why I thought that: it was intentional. See, Hellcats were, in fact, a new band featuring the former lead vocalist and guitarist of Starz, Michael Lee Smith and Richie Ranno. It's a bit lighter than Starz, but still pretty cool.
I should probably mention that Starz did go through a short power pop phase, with their third album Attention Shoppers!
Hellcats followed this EP with a full length album a few years later, but Michael was gone and, from what I remember of it, so was the spark.
:'-(
3 biased opinions:
I remember seeing that "Attention Shoppers!" LP at the record store... it looked too cheesy for me to ever buy it, otherwise I probably would've dug it
Ha ha, "It's Alright" almost sounds like April Wine
whoa, it feels like the closing credit song in a 80's movie. now im not saying thats all bad, just saying.
