Album:
This is classic US Female Melodic Hard Rock in the style of SARAYA, VIXEN, WITNESS, with a quite good sound quality despite the demo nature of these recordings.These demos released in the early 90's and features the absolutely outstanding and incredibly soulful vocal talents of Debby Holiday, who was previously a top dance / R&B singer who turned to hard rock and founded this band in early 1990s (Debby sang for BADLANDS on a British tour when the original singer Ray Gillen was ill).Available for the first time anywhere, a collection of Stilletto material never heard before outside of music industry circles.
