Asphalt Ballet - s/t (1991)

Asphalt Ballet's 1991 opus is certainly the bands best - a bruising lil' rocker that combines the swagger of Guns n' Roses with the leather-clad attitude of Skid Row, with a touch of Love/Hate - and this trio of bands can certainly be heard on the muscular stomp of 'Hell's Kitchen' mind you my favourite track is the soulful, bluesy sway of 'Heaven Winds Blow.' Asphalt Ballet were certainly overlooked back in the day and ever got the recognition of the bigger bands, but these guys sit nicely alongside Sea Hags, Salty Dog, Law & Order and even the more alternative grooves of The Front when you hear the breezy 'Tuesday's Rain'. Intriguing band, worth checking this one out.
