One last shot of hard rock before the party ended

"War Babies was formed in the early 1990's by former TKO vocalist Brad Sinsel. It's your basic early 90's melodic hard rock album with a slightly bluesy, slightly southern feel. It's very similar in style to what Nevada Beach and Tangier were doing at the time. Actually, Sinsel's raspy vocals make this sound like a long lost Nazareth album, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.



This is another fun, upbeat rock & roll album from the early, pre-grunge 90's. It's nothing you haven't heard before, and can't really compare to the era's bigger bands like Guns n' Roses, Aerosmith, or Tesla, but if you love that late 80's and early 90's hard rock sound, chances are you'll like War Babies as well.



Not surprisingly, this was the band's only release. Any kind of hard rock that was even remotely associated with the hair metal scene - and this definitely qualifies - was soon overrun by Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and the rest of their flannel wearing cohorts, and War Babies just wasn't able to withstand such an upheaval in the status quo of popular music.
