Album:
Singer / songwriter / guitarist Johnny Roxx did a long run in the ’80s L.A. underground hard rock scene as part of bands Aerian Rage, Tarrga, and Legend. Tarrga did some noise being featured on specialized magazines, recorded 2 demos (1986 + 1988), got songs aired on radio and were close to secure a record contract, but the group disbanded in 1990 with Johnny and drummer Michael Clemens forming their next band Legend.But Johnny Roxx was looking for a more personal sound based in mid-Eighties melodic hard, and formed his own outfit R.O.X.X. They recorded many demos in professional studios between 1991-92, and then a 4-track EP in 1993, self released. Record labels were interest in R.O.X.X., however at the time their brand on melodious hard wasn’t the trend anymore.Californian based reissue label Stormspell Records has compiled all R.O.X.X. recordings into a 2-CD Anthology titled “Blind In Vegas“, and if you dig that classic L.A sound from the era similar to WASP, Keel, Icon, Malice, etc, this is for you.This double disc packs R.O.X.X.’s 4-track EP from 1993 with a second bonus disc crammed full with early ’90s pre-production demo tracks. Sound quality is very good overall, and the band rocks in fine style; check the sample below.
