As requested, let’s go with Canadians SYRE second album “Pissed To The Gills“, originally released independently in 1998 and now fully remastered and with new artwork. SYRE pleased us with their wonderful 1989-1990 major label CD ‘It Ain’t Pretty Being Easy’ serving the classic melodic hard rock sound from the era.
The label dropped the group as happened with many acts, but they never abandon their feel-good rock style – and never broke up. “Pissed To The Gills” was recorded between 1993-98, partially produced by Jim Huff from the awesome band Wall Of Silence, and talented Bob Kulick.
While still there’s some late ’80 melodic hard rock here, “Pissed To The Gills” is more hard rocking, akin ’90s Warrant, Trixter, etc…

Another Canadian hard rock-related band which is getting a deserved remastering is SYRE, with the reissue of their excellent 1989’s debut titled “It Ain’t Pretty Being Easy“. Despite of being released by major label A&M in their native Canada, the band never become widely known, but judging their quality material they should be heard by all fan of the Melodic Hard Rock genre.
“It Ain’t Pretty Being Easy” is all about fun, party rock and singable choruses. They rock with catchiness since the opening riffs of “Flaunt It”, the band get the party going with “Summertime” (title says all), or “Say Hi To My Girlfriend” and “Never Said Goodbye” – both moderated singles in Canada & Europe…
