BALANCE

Digitally remastered edition of this 1981 album from the East Coast AOR/melodic Hard Rock band. Balance were a mini super-group of sorts. Pride of place was taken by vocalist Peppy Castro a man whose CV boasted commercially successful stints with late 60s Psych legends the Blues Magoos amongst others. Guitarist Bob Kulick had built a solid reputation as a super-session player contributing to diametrically opposed talent as Diana Ross and Kiss. Third man on board was session keyboard wizard Doug Katsaros. Compared at the time to similar sounding acts such as Journey Foreigner and Toto this album contained a stunning array of top notch AOR with vocals and arrangements to die for. A finer combination of melody and muscle you will not find. Rock Candy. 2010.
