WARRANT was one of the most popular and successful rock
bands of the late 80’s and early 90’s. The band was formed
in the mid-80’s and its first official line-up featured
vocalist Jani Lane, guitarist Erik Turner, guitarist Joey
Allen, bass player Jerry Dixon and drummer Steven Sweet.
In 1989, the band released their classic debut “Dirty Rotten
Filthy Stinking Rich”, which immediately entered the charts
and launched the hit singles “Down Boys” and the power
ballads “Sometimes She Cries” and “Heaven” which climbed up
to number two in the US charts. The band then started
touring with other artists and bands such as PAUL STANLEY
(KISS), CINDERELLA, POISON, QUEENRYCHE and MÖTLEY CRÜE.
In the summer of 1990, their second album “Cherry Pie”,
produced by legendary BEAU HILL, was released and featured
popular guests such as members of POISON, DANGER DANGER and
FIONA. The album turned out to be an even bigger success,
featuring the Top Ten hits "I Saw Red" and the rock anthem
"Cherry Pie”, which was receiving massive airplay on MTV.
With the arrival of grunge in the early 90’s, WARRANT turned
to a harder edged sound and released their third album “Dog
Eat Dog” in 1992. Although the album also went gold, the
fans were confused about the new musical style.
Now, after some changes within the band’s line-up and three
more albums, WARRANT is back to rock you again featuring all
the original members from the first two platinum-selling
albums except original singer Jani Lane, who is currently
pursuing his solo career.
The album’s title “Born Again” is perfectly describing the
band’s current state: With their new singer, JAIME ST.
JAMES, who is famous for being the vocalist of BLACK ‘N
BLUE, and internationally acclaimed producer and engineer
PAT REGAN (KISS, DEEP PURPLE, MR.BIG, LA GUNS) at the mixing
desk, WARRANT have recorded an album that will surprise
their old fans and definitely attract some new ones.
“Born Again” delivers classic 80’s hard rock with the band’s
trademark touch of poser and sleaze metal or as the band
itself puts it: “It’s the classic hard rockin' “Born Again”
sound that we all want to hear. Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking
Rich and Cherry Pie with a new twist”! The album is released
in a „MTM MUSIC 10th Anniversary Edition“ slipcase. |
