Fashion Police
I have been jumping out of my skin this lately because we have stitched up a deal with Cleveland's smokin' Fashion Police. Masterminded by the multi talented Dave Belanger, get excited people because we will be releasing all 3 Fashion Police albums with extra unreleased bonus tracks as well as video footage of the band on each CD. The albums "Calling All The Shots", "A New Minority" and "Plug It In" have recently been fetching big dollars on Ebay for a very good reason. Now they will be presented with stunning artwork, re-mastered, full lyrics, etc for a much better price. Dave Belanger was originally in Suncity Records's Pretty Vacant and played on their one and only album "...And We Don't Care". Going his own way, Dave had an idea to start another party rock band that had every element that people in the early 90's wanted to hear. Fashion Police was therefore born.

The trilogy of Fashion Police CD's will contain the full Fashion Police story, which is a great bonus, a story of trying to make it as a hard rock band back in the early 90's, personally written by bass guitarist and chief song writer Dave Belanger.
Well, what can I say about the music? If you're after grinding guitar grooves, spectacular hard rock riffs ala Motley Crue, pounding drums and bass that shakes the ground, well go no further than Fashion Police. Excellent production that still stands up very well in this day and age. You will go a long way to find production as crisp as these recordings from any hair metal band in any era. Like all Suncity Records releases, these recordings have been taken straight from the original masters, you won't find any cheap cassette/vinyl conversions like a lot of other rival labels here.
Now to Fashion Police's music, to me their closest relatives would have to be "Religious Fix" era Tuff. Tuff''s Religious Fix is in my top 25 hard rock albums of all time, so you can imagine how excited I am. Lead vocalist Daniel Montesanto is a dead ringer of Stevie Rachelle, sleazy as all get out. The only reason I can think why these guys didn't pick up a major label deal is unfortunately they were a little late on the scenes. The Nirvana virus had well and truly kicked in by then.
Take a listen to the track "I Want Love" which I have chosen out of 3 albums, mainly because I think it best describes the band and the whole vibe that these guys had going on. Enjoy.
