Bangalore Choir - On Target (CD) - CD

Details: BANGALORE CHOIR / ON TARGET - Singer David Reece then formed Bangalore Choir, who recorded their debut album On Target with Ian Mayo on bass and Jackie Ramos on drums, (both from Burning Rain), and the dual guitar attack of Curt Mitchell and John Kirk (both from Razor Maid). The album powers in with Angel In Black, a corking, commercial rocker about the stereotypical bad girl, which could have come straight from the Bon Jovi songbook. If The Good Die Young (We'll Live Forever) is an anthemic, slow, melodic rock number that arguably should have been a classic of the glam metal genre, while Doin' The Dance (co-written by Jon Bon Jovi), nevertheless presented a funkier front, more reminiscent of Extreme. Hold On To You begins with some nice acoustic arpeggios before presenting another big, anthemic chorus and some harmony guitars. The twin guitars offer some great moments throughout the album, not least on the driving pop-rocker Slippin' Away, and the staccato, thudding Freight Train Rollin'
