PRISCILLA – High Fashion +6 [digitally remastered] (2021) *0dayrox EXCLUSIVE*

FnA Records just reissued PRISCILLA‘s ”High Fashion”, a collection of ’80s recordings by the American band originally released in 2010 cleaned & remastered, now with the addition of 6 previously unreleased tracks.
Many of the songs here would have been scorching hits during the glam / hair metal heyday if PRISCILLA had better luck. Picture a slightly heavier version of hair legends Poison and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what Priscilla is all about. It was the late ’80s when Priscilla made waves with their “Wake Up the Neighborhood” single, followed by opening slots for Hericane Alice and Pretty Boy Floyd.
The sound on “High Fashion +6” quality varies quite a bit, however for the most part is really good. Half of these were professionally produced by Sean Beavan, who later made a name for himself working for both Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson.
Priscilla is the polar opposite of those bands however, sticking to party-hardy hair metal plenty of hooks.

The band’s most popular song, “Wake Up The Neighborhood”, is pure ’80s glam. Legend has it that this single went on to sell 20,000 copies back in the day, which was a decent number at the time. The Cleveland natives are at their best when they stick to the glam metal formula as they do on “Lick ‘N A Kiss”, “Can’t Wait For The Night”, “Some Like It Hot”, and the incredibly catchy “Broken Angel”.
One thing I noticed about Priscilla is that they didn’t attempt many ballads, there’s only a couple here. Some of their early material (mid-Eighties) is pretty darker, with a rebellious punky touch akin Hollywood Rose.

“High Fashion +6” is pure ’80s, and if you’re a sucker for some fun hair metal with lyrics drenched in sex, over-indulgence and more sex — or if you long for the days of teased hair and excessive make-up, to a time when Bret Michaels bathed in hairspray instead of covering everything with a bandana — then Priscilla will curb your cravings.
Highly Recommended
