\m/ 80's metal \m/

Так что не парься с поиском.

Originally recorded in 1980 and released as an independent album titled "Rock Hard", the Rods debut was later picked-up and released in 1981 by Arista Records as the "The Rods". The album was remastered and reissued in 1997 by High Vaultage records with two bonus tracks. The 16 page booklet contains extensive footnotes, artist biographies, reviews, etc. "Gettin' Higher" was originally released on the "Rock Hard" album, but not on the Arista release. "Wings of Fire" was taken from the "You Keep Me Hangin'" single.

Choosing THE RODS as a name, the trio rehearsed free of charge above a music retail store owned by Al Falso. Having written an album's worth of material and starting to reap the experience of gelling together on the live circuit, the band ventured to upstate New York to record demos over a period of time, assisted by a Chris Bubacz, the brother of Canedy's friend Greg Bubacz. The demo tracks were assembled together and released as their 'Rock Hard' debut released on their own Primal label in mid 1980 and, almost immediately, helped gain them a support slot to JUDAS PRIEST in Albany, New York. The show, however, was pretty much a disaster and, although the album was selling rather briskly and still attracting label interest, in the aftermath of the JUDAS PRIEST show the decision was made to part company with Starmer. Following a period when ex-ELF and RAINBOW bassist Craig Gruber filled the position the band eventually replaced him with Gary Bordonaro. Arista Records would be the label who eventually took the plunge on signing THE RODS and the label promptly took the 'Rock Hard' album and repackaged it just over a year after its original release. Eight of the original songs remained, although the infamous 'In Your Panties', 'Sit Down Honey', 'You Better Run' and, amazingly, 'Gettin' Higher' were replaced with two newer tracks recorded with Bordonaro in the studio, although, curiously both cover songs 'Nothing Going On In The City' from the pen of the rather obscure Dutch act WHITE HONEY and 'Ace In The Hole' , the original of which can be found on ROBERT FLEISCHMANN's 1979 Arista solo album 'Perfect Stranger'. Interestingly, whilst recording these tracks Canedy was simultaneously helping Joey De Maio record MANOWAR's demo that clinched that group's deal with EMI America. The re-packaged album, issued as 'The Rods' appeared to find more favour in Britain upon its release, especially with encouragement coming from'Sounds' magazine (impressed as much by the band's sordid tales of womanizing as it was the music) and newly launched its Heavy Metal off-shoot title 'Kerrang!'
