Vendetta - "Vendetta" reality records (reissue)

Originally released in 1993 california's vendetta are back,this is a tasty hard rock album full of all the normal eighties cliches, actually it's very good and reminds me of arcade , atello , great white , tesla etc,and the production by wyn davis who produced albums for dokken and great white compliments the bands music very well.

The songs feature speedy guitar work from pete blackwell and
vocalist ron james is a dead ringer for stephen pearcy of ratt ,
and john corabi when he was in the scream.
 

AUDIO / CREDITS / VIDEO

Songs such as the arousing "sex" ,the chunky riff laden "welcome to the real world" , and the brilliant "the night" all have enough charm to delight any lover of eighties melodic hard rock ,"the night" is a nice keyboard driven aor/rock song in the style of restless ,winger ,8084 and crystal ,and ends up being the albums best cut. This is a great album that should hopefully see the band securing a record deal from one of the big four labels.
