Bio:
Nasty Nasty is a glam sleaze hard rock band from Illinois, USA.Not to be confused with Nasty Nasty from Pennsylvania.Bassist & songwriter Shomidie formed Nasty Nasty in 1989 with with Donnie Dobbinson drums, guitarist Trevor Reynolds and vocalist Tim Whalen, and together they released two indie CDs, played in 23 states and built a reputation for opening for national acts such as Bad Company, Black Oak Arkansas, L.A. Guns, etc, but a record deal never came.This American quartet arrived on the scene in the early 1990s and already had two disadvantages: first, they released their debut studio album, Get Some!!!, on a small label (Emy Recordings). Second, they had a double name, which was quite common, even clichéd, at the time.Get Some!!! was released in 1990, and the least we can say is that its cover is very minimalist, not at all sophisticated. To top it all off, the band listed the names of each of the musicians involved on the cover, which is not commonplace.“Not Hard To Swallow” NASTY NASTY’s second album from 1991, where the band honed their skills in delivering a rocking brand of glam hard rock, heavier than the hair metal pop scene yet still catchy and commercial.
Album:
NASTY NASTY’s debut album from 1990 showcasing their, at the time, rawer brand of American glam hard rock, heavier than the hair metal pop scene yet still catchy and commercial.With a vocalist (Tim Whalen, RIP) which was like a cross between Cinderella’s Tom Keifer and Twisted Sister Dee Snider, guitar riffs straight from the amp and cool melodies, these NASTY NASTY first songs are raw and in your face, something the scene was losing in the early Nineties.Hailing from Springfield, Illinois, after the initial tours NASTY NASTY replaced Donnie Dobbinson with John Scully on drums, and after six months of songwriting and some demos, the band decided to record and release by themselves “Get Some!!!”.There’s a pretty wild delivery on songs like ‘Nasty Nasty’, ‘Shadowed Dreams’, the aggressive ‘I Don’t Really Care’, ‘Show Some More’ (with some early Twisted Sister on it). ‘On Broadway’ is different, very Van Halenesque – of course not with Eddie’s quality pyrotech – while ‘Tell No Lies’ is a solid ballad, not syruped but ‘heavy’, akin Dokken or Icon, and a favorite on this album.Out of print, “Get Some!!!” has become hard to find with used copies being sold for over $100.
