SPREAD EAGLE – Open To The Public [Japan Edition +1] HQ

Also requested, here’s SPREAD EAGLE second album “Open To The Public” in its Japanese Edition including a bonus track. While most melodic hard rock bands circa 1993 were already drop by their major record labels (especially in America), SPREAD EAGLE managed to release this second album via MCA.
SPREAD EAGLE’s self-titled resulted a cracking platter of hard rock, and this second effort “Open To The Public” is just as good as the first. Obviously with a more notorious early ’90s sound to it, the songwriting inspiration still is firmly planted in the Eighties.
Indeed, kudos to SPREAD EAGLE; they never caved in to the grunge movement, instead, the songs on “Open To The Public” are driven by crunchy sharp guitars, pounding drums and the gritty vocals / gang choruses which are the trademark of traditional US melodic hard.
