Sounds great! I guess I will have to buy that Roxx Productions’ new Damascus collection. I came here to listen what this Damascus is. And I like it!

At the time we called those records bargain bin metal? Why? Because it was unsaleable in the record stores so they went from discount to the 5 for the price of 1 crates. I love looking trough those because it was an opportunity to get some nice unknown stuff for next to nothing. At my record store, I made a deal with the salesman, I could buy 5, take them home, listen to them and the ones I really didn't like I could swap for others. Got some great classics that way ( e.g. Gotham City - the Unknown ). Would never have bought those at retail because on a budget... And this one? Mmmm, it's ok, it has something. Think it will grow on you once listened to more often. Thanks for uploading this and thanks for introducing me to Tosh, a truly brilliant album !

I knew Billy (vocals) a long time ago. One helluva nice bloke, and a phenomenal voice! Superb band. File under: Shoulda Been Huge!! Thanks for posting this... \m/ (:o)

[@klistarf]

Dan Brown Sorry Mate, but unfortunately, i haven't seen Billy for about twenty years i'm afraid. I think it would be great if you could do a Wiki page for the band though, as there is so little info about them out there and, as i say, they deserve so much more recognition. Such a good, good band! Best wishes, Mate... \m/ (:o)

[@pauls185]

someone should try to find out what the band is doing now.

Check out the reunion gig the band played at brofest 2014. Search youtube for 'damascus brofest 2014'. A CD of all the bands 1984 recordings was produced by High Roller records in 2012 and may still be available.

Haha, interesting, the vocal-only intro made me expect some half-baked 80s Pop ; ) But with the Hard-Rock instrumentation it's not too bad and the vocals don't even sound that cheesy after all ...just a little bit.
