Hard Rock Sleaze Glam AOR HEAVY

This Town is straight up AOR. Degarmo and Key, Steve Camp and Geoff Moore fans will like this album. Rob co-wrote half of the songs with Steve Camp. Many songs can be compared in tempo to artists such as Huey Lewis and the News but where it really compares is the Degarmo and Key.
Very guitar and keyboard driven. You’re gonna really vibe with this. It’s a great rocker. Sure a few slower songs as well but for the most part it just kicks into high gear the 3rd song in and doesn’t let up. The album went really un-noticed because it was never released on CD until now. This is a must have for any and all AOR fans.

Salt Lake City had its own rock scene that could rival the scene in more populated and well-known cities. Two of the more prominent bands in the Salt Lake scene were THE TOOLS and STRYDER. These bands battled for years to be the premier rock band in Utah. STRYDER featured some great musicians including guitarist Chris Clary (JERICHO, PARADOX, GOOD COMPANY, STRYDER, ESSEXX, MEGATTACK, TYPHOID MARY, FAT LIP, CHERRY BOMB) and guitarist Gilbert Rodriguez (HARPO SKANK, ISAIAH, ROADWORK, PARADOX, GOOD COMPANY, STRYDER, ESSEXX, CHINA DOLL, SHADOW, ANGEL REIGN) who gave this melodic rock band a duel-guitar flavor that musician and fans could enjoy.
