ANGELS

The Angels, one of Australia's premier hard rock outfits, return to centre stage with the reissue of their classic catalogue on Liberation Music. 'Watch The Red' now remastered with the original album art & bonus disc.

In 1980 the Angels set their sights on the rest of the world - the Angels signed a five year deal with CBS / Epic world wide and released 'Dark Room', more hard driving, energetic rock with apocalyptic lyrics - 'No Secrets', 'Face The Day'. To avoid confusion with a similarly named group, for the rest of the world they changed their name to Angel City. They hit the world stages with almost the impact of AC/DC. Those years on Australian stages left American audiences studded. Legend has it they were kicked off a Kinks tour for being "too good", and that they were a major influence on the next generation of American rock bands, in particular Guns n'Roses and Motley Crue.

The next era of the Angels' career began to unfold in 1981, when New Zealander Brent Eccles took over the drum stool, and the 'Night Attack' album pushed the band further into heavy metal territory. Los Angeles musician Jim Hilbun took over on bass in April 1982. 'Watch The Red' completed the band's CBS commitments.

Features Live Lady Live, Eat City, Stand Up and Is That You? Bonus disc 'The Blow' - 27 minutes of non stop jamming which is a fan / collector favourite.
