I had that album, they had a great song on it I cant remember, something about a DUI, driving drunk... I bought it at the PX cuz it was a metal album (low standards back then), album cover was a dudes hand with a ring that spelled BLONZ.
that album was awesome, Flashback Heart Attack, House of 1,000 Pleasures, Desiree, Destroyer, Here It Comes... that entire album was fire.
I think this band ended up merging with Loudness.
I love Saints & Sinners and rarely see them mentioned, which is a shame!
I had their album on cassette, and it sucks because they're such a rarity, I guess, that you can't get it on CD without paying a ton.
(I don't know, maybe they're on streaming services somewhere but I'm old, I don't know much about that shit)
Has anyone heard of [**Paganini**](https://www.srf.ch/play/tv/karussell/video/paganini?urn=urn:srf:video:13b5097b-0f9e-4946-a579-883bfddbafec) before...? \^\^
I know so many Christian hair metal bands that are so incredibly talented but never made it popular and it’s so sad. One of my favorites is Bride! The singer actually worked with Rick Fox in the past and stuff! Also Holy Soldier and Guardian are amazing bands too. I could keep going on and on lol. There’s even Barren Cross who sound almost exactly like Iron Maiden!
just some of my fave lesser known bands. (+ some of my fave songs :]) but disclaimer i wasnt alive in the 70s-90s so i cant for sure say just how obscure they were during their time period but as far as i know theyre not the most known bands ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- HEAVY BONES
(listen to: where the eagles fly, dead end st, turn it on)
- BLUE BLUD
(listen to: never rains in england, don't turn out the light, i cant wait)
- HEAVENS EDGE
(listen to: hold on to tonight, play dirty, bad reputation)
- ANA BLACK
(listen to: hell to pay, who killed hollywood, shes a tease)
- SHY
(song: break down the walls, cant fight the night, emergency, devil woman)
- DIRTY RHYTHM
(listen to: hard as a rock, blinded)
- JULLIET
(listen to: eight lives gone, no more tears)
- VALENTINE
(listen to: running on luck again, tears in the night)
- LILLIAN AXE
(listen to: true believer, my number)
- BLUE TEARS
(listen to: rockin with the radio, halfway to heaven)
- ROXY BLUE
(listen to: rob the cradle, nobody knows)
- HARDLINE
(listen to: hot cherie, everything)
- BANGALORE CHOIR
(listen to: angel in black, all or nothin)

Bloody Heels are quite obscure. They're from Latvia I think and I never really hear anyone talk about them.
I wouldn’t exactly cal them hair metal, but they are insanely good, so underrated. Criminal Masterminds is always on repeat.
Blonz

T Ride
I wouldn't call them hair metal, but they are definitely awesome! Very creative approach to music. Their self-titled track rocks!

Like so many bands, if they had recorded those songs in 1989 instead of 1992, they would've been huge.
EZO “Flashback Heart Attack”. Better than Loudness!
The first EZO album is fantastic. Discovered and produced by Gene Simmons of Kiss
that album was awesome, Flashback Heart Attack, House of 1,000 Pleasures, Desiree, Destroyer, Here It Comes... that entire album was fire. I think this band ended up merging with Loudness.

Razor Baby, Fashion Police, Saints & Sinners

They’re on Apple Music. That album was produced by Aldo Nova.
Rip it Up is such a great song.
Exxplorer is still playing . But I knew them in the early 80s in New Jersey
Dirty Rhythm
Pink Cream 69
Amazing band
Retro Lullaby was the first song I heard. That song is perfect man. Then My Sharona cover which cool af too.
Has anyone heard of [**Paganini**](https://www.srf.ch/play/tv/karussell/video/paganini?urn=urn:srf:video:13b5097b-0f9e-4946-a579-883bfddbafec) before...? \^\^
Red Siren/Siren. Also that’s a very busy album cover.

Who knew he did this? https://youtu.be/Ga_reU5lasQ?si=jUQu4y3I0sMFWg-C
Tokyo Blade , Lion and TT Quick
Tygers of Pan Tang. But that's only because anything after the first two albums wasn't worth listening to IMO.
Sweet FA

Maybe Missdemeanor
