BAD ATTITUDE – Right From The Start 1988-1991 [FnA Records] (2024) *HQ*

L.A.’s BAD ATTITUDE, just one of the many bands with this moniker in the ’80s, may very well be the best of them all. The band recorded many songs between 1988 – 1991, all with very good production, but the elusive record deal never arrived. Now FnA Records is releasing BAD ATTITUDE’s best tunes remastered on a CD titled ”Right From The Start”.
And BAD ATTITUDE were good. From the scream n’ shout melodic hard rockers “Love ‘em and Leave ’em” and ”Action” to the what would’ve been a big MTV power ballad ”What About You Girl”. These guys showcase here the unequitable diversity of the songwriting and the quality recordings that were missing from so many of their underground counterparts at the time.

BAD ATTITUDE built up their reputation playing all the big clubs in Hollywood, gaining legions of fans and eventually a regular draw. This led to the coveted opening gigs for bands like Warrant, Poison, Hurricane and countless others.
In turn, this all led to the interest from the major labels and showcase after showcase. All too often management would make bad decisions or an A&R Rep would move on, and it just didn’t happen for them. Many bands experienced this main trajectory thus many capable and qualified bands went by the wayside.

Bad Attitude was formed by lead singer / guitarist Brian Curtis in Hollywood, CA in 1988. Brian and the guys worked really hard and were gaining great respect for their music and live show. This was known as the “The Hollywood Era”.
But this era was short-lived as bands were being required to Pay To Play and / or sell tickets to their own shows… even if they could bring a large audience. The band officially ended their run in 1993.

This 18 track album entitled ”Right From The Start” is full of good, fun late 80s melodic rockers, power ballads and everything in between; it is made up of tracks recorded from 1988-1991. Yeah, there were hundreds of bands like this, however BAD ATTITUDE wrote very good, consistent songs for the genre.
