AERIAL – Crazy Over You [Recorded ’89] (2018)

AERIAL had no luck securing a major label contract in the overcrowded late ’80s US melodic hard rock scene, but they were close. However they professionally recorded a set of songs in 1989, and now these tracks have been remastered with a few additional tracks for the album “Crazy Over You” released by Metallic Blue Records.

Always fronted by Michael Hernandez (Seducer, Hard Knox) the band toured all over the US Northwest and playing with other national acts such as Dangerous Toys, Head East, April Wine and many more.
Meanwhile Aerial recorded their own songs at different studios, some of these – “Cuz I Know”, “Crazy Over You”, “Out of Control” and “Is It Over” – with engineer Gary Hanson (Lion).

As said, the band were close to get a deal but never materialized. They disbanded in the early 90s, but Michael re-formed Aerial during the past decade, and while he was busy on other projects, remains active.
Though Aerial has gone through numerous lineup changes, the band has always been true to the melodic hard rock sound that fans have always loved.

Musically the songs here are typically second half of the 80s melodic hard / glammy stuff with an American sleazy touch. The sound quality is very good for indie recordings, and the hands of an expert producer / mixer would have made wonders.
Lost ’80s enjoyable stuff here.
