ANATOMIC – In For The Thrill [post SHY TIGER band]

ANATOMIC born from the ashes of SHY TIGER, the band featured here yesterday with their two album remastered. This, their debut album “In For The Thrill“, was released in 2000’s, however it sounds like recorded in the second half of the ’80s.
Seriously, if you play this CD and have people guess when it came out, no one, and I mean NO ONE would guess 2000. This is classic ’80s, first class melodic hard rock with awesome melodies akin DANGER DANGER, FIREHOUSE, SLAUGHTER, etc.
If appeared in 1988, “In For The Thrill” and ANATOMIC would have been massive – any of the songs here could have been top hits in the late ’80s. Yes, this CD is that good… KILLER.

SHY TIGER – Feed The Kitty / Tails Out [2-in-1 CD digitally remastered]

Sacramento, Californian rockers SHY TIGER‘s two albums Tails Out (1993) and Feed The Kitty (1994) have been re-released on one CD by Demon Doll Records, fully remastered and with fresh new artwork. On “Feed The Kitty / Tails Out” these tigers deliver some really cool stomp n’ sleazy hairy metal, and while originally released in the early Nineties, the sound and style of both albums are pure Eighties circa 1987-1989.
Check out songs like “Desperate”, “Young And Only” and “Lay Your Money Down” to really get you in the mood to hit the town on the hunt for some tigress in need of attention. They also created a strong power ballad work with “Lay Down And Cry” (there’s two versions, each from both albums) as well as “Believe In You”.
An enjoyable set of songs with fine production and very good songwriting for the genre; Sunset Strip kinda melodic hard rock with sleazy, hair metal and even some AOR touches. Think a rougher Warrant…
