Circus Of Power (CD)
Back in the 1980's the Los Angeles rock scene cultivated spandex, glam and big - make that HUGE - hair, whilst in New York a far grittier aesthetic was being honed; one that would promote the hard working, hard living ethos of an inner city blighted by forgotten neighbourhoods and low uemployment. The perfect backdrop, in fact, for the low-down high volume rock 'n roll of no-frills minimalists such as the Ramones, Raging Slab, Smashed Gladys, Blitzspeer and... Circus Of Power. COP, as they were commonly known amongst friends and fans, lived life on the edge; a trail blazing sound. Spotted by esteemed NYC-based producer Daniel Rey, they were snapped up, together with Raging Slab, by the giant RCA label, creating one of the greatest debut hard rock albums of the era. Raw, edgy and extremely dangerous, Circus Of Power's debut album, originally released in 1989, is a seething guitar-fuelled temper tantrum that remains as powerful today as it was when first released
