Bio:

Circus of Power was the personification of East Coast sleaze rock during the late 80s and early 90s. Formed in the mid 1980s, during the burgeoning New York City club scene, the classic line-up of Alex Mitchell (vocals), Ryan Maher (drums), Ricky Beck Mahler (guitars), and Gary Sunshine (bass), were signed to RCA records and promptly released their seminal, self-titled debut album debut. Their brand of bluesy, bad-ass biker rock set the perfect backdrop for their lyrical swagger and stories of debauchery and depravity. A live EP, (1989's 'Still Alive'), and second full length, (1990's 'Vices'), continued their musical tradition and thrust the band towards new heights, securing major tours and MTV airplay. Line-up and label changes led to the third full length album, 1993's 'Magic and Madness' Released on Columbia Records, the album ushered in a more melodic sound for the band, while losing none of the grit that fans had grown to expect. The group disbanded in the mid-90s, and despite a few sporadic "reunion" gigs, Circus of Power has been largely inactive...until now. With a fresh new line-up, including Stoner Rock legend, Brant Bjork, commanding drumming duties, the band is set to release their first new material in a quarter of a century. Get ready to 'Motor' on down and revisit all of your old 'Vices', because C.O.P. is back!

Album:

By 1991, like many hard rock/heavy metal bands of this period, CoP became casualties (popularity wise), of the burgeoning grunge movement; however the band persevered, recording and releasing their third album Magic and Madness in 1993; two years later, the band disbanded, ironically, just as grunge phenomenon was starting to die.Lyrically and visually Circus of Power are heavily influenced by the biker scene and to this day, play at biker events and festivals.Members have included vocalist Alex Mitchell, guitar players Ricky Mahler and Gary Sunshine, and drummer Ryan Maher. Of these, Mitchell is the only remaining founding member.Junkyard fired, Little Caesar and Love / Hate too. It almost looks like sleaze rock can't save itself into the nineties. CIRCUS OF POWER still exists (luckily) with their meanwhile third studio album "Magic & Madness". And COP are so fresh and present that you really shouldn't have to worry. Moving from New York to L.A. was audibly good for the band. "Magic & Madness" still sounds in the best COP manner, smeared with engine oil and swathed by diesel, but they have added a few facets to their repertoire. So you don't just rely on horsepower cars, but drive e.g. with 'Circles' also the ballad bus for the first time or with 'Shine' on the street in Seattle. I don't need to mention that Alex Mitchell is not only a great singer, but also a great lyric poet. And I also save special test tips because they just don't exist. If you ever want to play COP-Killer in your life, don't go to the stores, don't get this record, and CIRCUS OF POWER will go the same way as the bands above. But you are missing out on one of the strongest records of this (still young) year.

Album:

One of the grittiest American bands from the late '80s CIRCUS OF POWER, are back with "Four", their first new studio album in a quarter of a Century due on December 8th.A cult act of '80s and '90s biker rock, vocalist and songwriter Alex Mitchell has assembled a fresh new lineup that includes the talents of former KYUSS Brant Bjork to command the drumming duties on fourteen brand new street rock anthems. CIRCUS OF POWER was the personification of East Coast sleazy rock wayof living during the late '80s and early '90s. Formed in the mid-1980s during the burgeoning New York City club scene, the band was signed to RCA and promptly released its seminal, self-titled debut album. Their brand of bluesy, bad-ass biker rock set the perfect backdrop for their lyrical swagger and stories of debauchery and depravity. A live EP (1989's "Still Alive") and second full-length (1990's "Vices") continued their musical tradition and thrust the band towards new heights, securing major tours and MTV airplay. Lineup and label changes led to the third full-length album, 1993's "Magic And Madness". Released on Columbia, the LP ushered in a more melodic sound for the band while losing none of the grit that fans had grown to expect.After almost 25 years, CIRCUS OF POWER's sound & style pretty remain unadulterated, mixing that THE CULT American-era song skeleton with some kind of early GUNS N' ROSES swagger.Stretching out into bold new territories, while keeping true to the ever identifiable, classic CIRCUS OF POWER sound, tracks like "Rock Show", "Hard Drivin' Sister" and "American Monster" are sure to excite fans, old and new.One of my favorites is "Fast and Easy", driven by KISS-meets-URIAH HEEP licks come in along with the pedal-pushing energy. Alex Mitchell's perfectly weathered voice invokes the sense of a man who has seen it all and ready to do it again, which really embodies the spirit of the reactivated group. There's also tracks such as 'Half A Dozen Roses' which bring to mind ex-Guns GILBY CLARKE solo works, and grovy heavy numbers like 'Love Sick Blues'."Four" is a solid retro styled, street-ready rocking album and a roaring message that the riff-heavy credibility CIRCUS OF POWER have returned.Long-term fans will find a lot to like on here. I remember when the band hit MTV back in the 80s there was a perceived danger element due to the members appearance as tattooed bikers, but it is safe to say that those days are gone with all the things we see every day now. CIRCUS OF POWER 2017 have crafted an album of rawk with fresh elements to create a cohesive collection of songs to please a wider audience.

Line-Up:

Alex Mitchell – vocals
Billy Tsounis – guitar
Joe Truck – guitar
John Sharkey – bass guitar
Brant Bjork – drums

Tracklist:

01. Fast And Easy

Album:

Many of you have been asking for some old Rock Candy releases to complete collections, and here’s one that rocks great, CIRCUS OF POWER‘s self titled album fully remastered & reloaded including bonus tracks.Back in the 80s the Los Angeles rock scene cultivated spandex, glam and big, huge hair, whilst in New York a far grittier aesthetic was being honed; one that would promote the hard working, hard living ethos of an inner city blighted by forgotten neighbourhoods. The perfect backdrop, in fact, for the low-down high volume rock ‘n roll of no-frills minimalists such as Raging Slab, Smashed Gladys, and… Circus Of Power.COP, as they were commonly known amongst friends and fans, lived life on the edge; a trail blazing sound. Spotted by esteemed NYC-based producer Daniel Rey, they were snapped up, together with Raging Slab, by the giant RCA label, creating one of the strongest debut hard rock albums of the era.Raw, edgy and extremely dangerous Circus Of Power’s debut album, originally released in 1989, is a seething guitar-fuelled temper tantrum that remains as powerful today as it was when first released.While COP were instantly compared to Guns N’ Roses – same tattoo / street wise-leather and denim uniform – Circus Of Power’s debut has its own sound for sure. Lead singer Alex Mitchell sounds more like Ian Ashbury of The Cult than Axl Rose. And cut throat hard rock gems like ‘Motor’, ‘White Trash Queen’, ‘Backseat Mama’, ‘Machine’ and of course the most famous track here ‘Call Of The Wild’ alone let you know these guys had an authentic talent for manufacturing true spirited direct and no holds barred rock n’ roll.With a hint of more mature compositional skills, the highlight track ‘Needles’ starts with piano and a more dramatic feel, but its the only time the band dips out of the traditional ‘hips swaggering’ rock feel that personifies the record. It’s also a welcome change (albeit slight) in sound from the rest of the proceedings.Most people will be familiar with ‘Call Of The Wild’, it had a video that got significant MTV airplay (when music still mattered to them, remember the original Headbangers Ball?). So the song itself was their 15 min of fame, but as you can guess, there’s much more into this crackin’, rocking album.If you enjoy stripped down, bar-band-with-a-bite, blues guitar derived, driving rock n roll, this album is for you. It rocks, hard, with attitude. Very good Rock Candy remaster including bonus tracks, two of them previously unreleased.

Alex Mitchell – vocals

Album:

Many of you have been asking for some old Rock Candy releases to complete collections, and the few days ago we featured the CIRCUS OF POWER self-titled album reissue. Now we have in exclusive their pretty hard to find ‘remastered & reloaded‘ version of the band’s second album “Vices”, including 5 bonus tracks.Circus Of Power debut album, although failing to set the charts on fire, had blown the proverbial roof off with its brazen mix of low-slung guitar worship and a surly attitude to rival the best of West Coast rivals Guns ‘N’ Roses.Produced, like the debut album, by Daniel Rey and titled ”Vices” (for obvious reasons), Circus Of Power’s sophomore release is finely hewn from a similar block of tough granite. Big riffs peppered with throat ripping vocals atop huge blasts of guitar are the order of the day, all expertly inserted into some of the most combustible songs the band ever penned.Released in 1990, just like the debut, ‘Vices’ resulted every bit as good as its predecessor – ‘Vices’ still had that same ‘fuck you’ attitude but benefitted no end from a noticeable improvement in songwriting.Furthermore, the addition of new bassist Zowie meant that Gary Sunshine could assume the role of second guitarist, the sinewy cut and thrust as he traded licks with Rickey Beck Mahler both enriching and reinforcing the band’s trademark bluesy sound.A sweat soaked, broiling cauldron of influences which encompassed everybody from AC/DC to Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones to Iggy Pop; on this release the Circus Of Power sound was enriched further with a healthy injection of Skynyrd meets Molly Hatchet style southern boogie (check out the pumping ‘Got Hard’ and you’ll see exactly what I mean).Attitude and aggression are always essential in this particular genre, but without great songs to back it up, you’ll sound find yourself discarded by the wayside … fortunately for them, this time around Circus Of Power had hit an ultra rich vein of creativity with the likes of ‘Gates Of Love’, ‘Vices’, ‘Don’t Drag Me Down’ and ‘Doctor Potion’ (to name but four).Once again superbly remastered by Jon Astley and five bonus tracks, this definitive version of ‘Vices’ is a fitting testament to a band at their peak.
