They did a reunion about oh... 6 years ago? They played at the Northeast Art Rock fest (Nearfest). Played very well. Nice guys too. Got to chat with them for a bit.
Please post the whole album, if you can! I would love to hear "Up To You" again! I have great memories of them playing that song when opening up for Rush! That, and they're version of "Shapes Of Things."
just got myself lp copys of black noise, con-test and tonight. the store i got them from also had a copy of direct to disc which i did not get. the cost was only 15-20 dollars each! the store i got them from is called "recordings" in oakville, ontario!
@kRis944 That direct to disc recording was "Headroom". You missed the best thing they did. Go check if it is still there and buy it if it is. You will love it.
@gr8ghost don't worry, i have a copy of that on mp3. and i agree, it is awesome! it was just too expensive to buy at the time. in the meantime i picked up a copy of surveillance. still looking for a vinyl copy of city of fear though...
One of my all time favorite bands. Though, mostly i wasn't thrilled with anything past City of Fear. the live album was good and so were the new songs on it, though. We need a box set. It's tough finding these guys on cd. Had to order an Asian pressing of Surveillance through a prog rock website. Someone found me MP3's of City of Fear. Black Noise is the easy one.
OMG!!! FOR YEARS GROWING UP WITH THIS LP I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR SOMBODY BESIDES MYSELF AND MY BEST FRIEND MIKE WHO KNOWS THIS BAND!!!!! WHO ARE YOU AND HOW DID YOU HEAR OF THIS GROUP???!!!???
WE OWN 1 OPEN COPY "LP " AND 1 STILL SEALED COPY OF THIS "AWESOME" FUCKING BAND.
I ALSO OWN 1 CD OF "BLACK NOISE" THAT I HAD TO IMPORT FROM GERMANY FOR SOME REASON.
PLEASE RSVP ASAP TO "ITSABUSTOUT@YAHOO.COM.
LOOKING FOWARD TO HEARING YOUR STORY ON THIS BAND.
the night was feed to the local police. that are it up and spit out a receipts. Hungry boys! Two men approach and go behind a garage. The sign is given but a traitor gets in deep enuff. the old fokes nod and pour each other a drink. they see the seen go down once every week. After the wall the. cities heart is buried away. to take the under ground you still have to pay. find out the cost. here beneath the city of fear. i have to look away . so that i don't see
@ozricstormbringer I know you live or you die by the rules. And take your medicine the doctor the schools. Keep it low. i know my enemy i know myself. i know the odds of finding any wealth anywhere. the old ones not in a fatal way. they store up energy to get through the day. so wait for the night. the trap is lied so deep under ground. the honey's sweet and the fly's are all buzzing around. Here with in a city of fear i have to look away so that i wont see.
@ozricstormbringer the night was feed to the animal heat. it took a cadillac to swallow the street. Circuit melts. the dream was sold to a popular tune. as it resembooled the right to consume power to spare. the old ones nod and give each other a wink. they wash there hands and they pocket the sink. to personal gain. the city spreads and it shelters a child. he hits the street as the sun opens wide. enter the game here with in a city of fear i have to look away so that i won't see.

I get the impression the producer didn't quite have the chops to make the band shine.
