STILETTO – Don’t Call Me Sweetie [FnA digitally remastered], MP3+FLAC


Hailing from Toronto, Canada, all-girl melodic hard rock band STILETTO came together in September of 1989 as an answer to US Vixen.

Another fake from the garbage can, this is the 2009 edition –MAIN LINE RIDERS returned in 2009 with “Worldshaker“, their second full length recording since the debut in 2007. This time around the band tune-in with a new attitude, a new vocalist and a new sound.

Now 2023 reissued by Retroactive Records as part of the Legends Remastered series, unashamedly “Worldshaker” is earnestly beholden to hard rock godfathers (Bon-era) AC/DC, early ’80s Def Leppard (think High N’ Dry, Pyromania), Airbourne, wt
