THE BOMBERS – Aim High [Bad Reputation remaster +3] (2020)

As requested, here’s THE BOMBERS hard rocking album ”Aim High” recently remastered by Bad Reputation Records specialists including 3 bonus tracks. A supergroup formed by Alan Lancaster & John Coghlan from Status Quo, and John Brewster of The Angels, “Aim High” was released by a A&M in 1990, so expect that huge major label production and melodic hard rock goodness.

Quite unknown and criminally unheard by many, ”Aim High” is terrific, and this remastered reissue – including as bonus a rare standalone single – is really welcomed…

More than three decades later original singer Tyrone ‘Ty’ Coates has re-formed the group – Ty Coates’ BOMBERS – with a brand new line-up and a slightly different sound. ”Man Down” has a pretty straight riff-orientated hard rock style with some boogie classic rock elements.
There’s a much more ‘British / Aussie’ sound n’ feeling here, short, instant rockers with a bang…
