REMASTER / TEASER (Adrian Vandenberg) / VANDENBERG / VANDENBERG'S MOONKINGS

TEASER (Adrian Vandenberg) – Teaser [Bad Reputation remastered +5] (2021) *only at 0dayrox*

Bad Reputation is reissuing the long time out of print, self-titled sole album from TEASER, the first band of Dutch guitarist Adrian Vandenberg including various bonus tracks. Still using his real name Adje van der Berg and still a teenager, Vandenberg met singer Jos Veldhuizen while playing at the same stage on different bands. Adrian was impressed by Veldhuizen’s voice, very similar to Paul Rodgers.
They formed TEASER and got the chance to record a single in 1977 (included into this reissue as bonus) which caught the attention of prestigious label Vertigo (Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Uriah Heep, Status Quo) who signed the band to record “Teaser”, a 10-track LP appeared in 1978.
The music here has classic hard rock sound with a bluesy backbone, obviously influenced by the British scene – Bad Company / Free – very similar in style / production to Whitesnake’s first albums.

PICTURE / TEASER (Adrian Vandenberg) / UNRELEASED / V.A. - New Wave Of Lowlands Metal

V.A. – Crash! Bang! Wallop! New Wave Of Lowlands Heavy Metal 1979-1984 [2022]

The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) exploded around 1979 and at the same time things started to move in The Netherlands and Belgium as well. More and more bands came out of their practice bunkers, going on stage, recording demo tapes and gathering some first publicity in Dutch magazines like Heavy Metal Demons and Aardschok.
It was an exciting period as every day you were discovering new bands from Europe, the USA, Canada, basically all over the world.
This double CD titled ”Crash! Bang! Wallop! New Wave Of Lowlands Heavy Metal 1979-1984” is wonderful compilation of bands from that proto Dutch / Belgian scene – “Lowlands Heavy Metal”, including very early recordings from bands the later became world-wide known like PICTURE, ACID or BODINE, but also unknown and good acts such as Adrian Vandenberg’s TEASER, or a previously unreleased song by MOVER, Arjen Lucassen’s first band…
