Paisley Sin: Hot Flashes [City Heat – July 1990]

Listening to Z-Rock the other day, I was somewhat surprised to hear The Secret onĀ  that station. Then it occurred to me that the song rocks plenty for their format.

Which brought me back to, ‘Why was I surprised’?
I’ve had this tape for about a year now and I guess I just finally realized how versatile Paisley Sin is. From the denying Ain’t Nothin‘ to the starry night feel of Tribute to the funky, tongue-in-cheek This Is The Life, back to the heavy Out & Down.

This bass-driven collection of tunes runs the gamut. As such, it proves to be a good reference point but still nothing compared to the live Sin. However, it is a must for Seattle aficionados.

Looking forward, now more than ever, to their next release!

Formerly Jinxx from Seattle club gigging, Breda has a demo showing their mainstream pop-metal expertise. Very radio/MTV accessible! Having a namesake moniker is not all these guys have in common with the likes of Winger and Dokken.
Except for the whining on Suicide Love, it’s a very nice collection of tunes any pre-pubescent girl would swoon over.
