Bang Tango were one such act whose influences tugged bravely on the sleeves of a darker direction, like The Cult and Jane's Addiction. Sure, they were hard rockin' but the overtones suggested that other musical forces were being utilized, much the same way as Love/Hate, L.A. Guns and Zodiac Mindwarp did. Signed to MCA/Mechanic Records, the band issued this, their debut studio album in 1989 to very positive, some might say ecstatic, reviews which hinted at greater things to come. Recorded in Texas and finished in L.A. The album was produced by fledgling producer Howard Benson, who honed and forged a unique style that helped to pave the way for a solid placing on the all-important Billboard chart, nestling just outside the top 50. With a unique hard-edged sound, heavy on raw guitar playing and featuring immediately identifiable vocals from frontman Joe Leste, this five-piece band unleashed a number of super catchy, pocket rocket riffs that still sound vibrant and undated. Along with 'Someone Like You', tracks like 'Attack Of Life', 'Breaking Up A Heart Of Stone' and 'Sweet Little Razor' quite rightly stand loud, proud and different to other acts of the period.
