The CD is out of print being sold at Amazon for over EUR 340 (!)
When it comes to riff-based Rock, then countless great bands from Australia come to your mind. But when it comes to ’80s-style Melodic Rock music, then it’s very challenging to name more than two or three bands from these years who really left a mark.
One of them definitely might be ROXUS whose one and only album ‘NightStreet’ of the year 1992 is a true classic for the genre. Even though the album was never officially released in Europe, it found many fans over there.
The original album features ten perfectly composed Melodic Rock songs which can be described as a mixture of early BON JOVI and CROWN OF THORNS with a big shot of WARRANT, plus the finesse of BOULEVARD…

“De-Arrow” is pure keyboard-driven 80s AOR plenty of catchy melodies and choruses to die for. While the band released a promotional tape at the time, all the material here should be considered unreleased. Some of these tracks have never been heard before…
