Crisis Party - Rude Awakening (1989)

During the late '80s Guns n' Roses spawned a thousand imitators - Crisis Party being one of those acts. Terry Date may be producer here but oh for the cheek of it - CP mimic G n' R in every aspect, right down to the Axl-esque vocal which, after the first track get so bloody annoying I'm wondering how on earth Metal Blade records gave them a deal. I understand how bands get caught up in trends and there are always record labels out there keen to cash in on a fad and I'm sure that some of these labels may well have been genuine in their attempts to find the next big thing, but at times this just takes the piss. Crisis Party lack sleaze appeal in every department, so it's no wonder they dissolved into nothing - not fit to lace Axl's boots and I'm sure if he'd left them out on his door step Crisis Party would have stolen them!

5/10
