Princess Leather+Screaming Angels+We Came To Destroy-Heather Leather

Heather Leather, hell yes, let's rock!!!
Hailing from San Antonio this family band came to 'destroy' with a fantastic brand of 'out-of-tune' heavy metal that leaves most of the 80's metal bands trembling in it's wake.
Not sure why there aren't more all female heavy metal bands as most fans are men (boys?!) you'd think that it would be a winner...I'm sure someone somewhere has written a paper on it...
Anyhow,'Princess Leather' is an epic track that totally sums up the appeal of Heavy Metal and surely is ripe for a cover version, having said that I think my favourite is 'Screaming Angels' as I'm all for a bit of 'Uriah Heep' style wailing, though the guitar solo's on 'We Came To Destroy' are pretty special too.

Evolution+My Time- The Golden Dawn

So just what is Psychedelic music? For me it's something to do with the tone of the track. Not just the more familiar 'psych sound effects', echo and the like, but something 'other', something more esoteric...which is where 'The Golden Dawn' come in with 'Evolution' and 'My Time'.

Derided at the time as being 13th Floor Elevator clones, they were from Texas, went to the same schools and were in the same bands as well as sharing a record label, International Artists, but they suffered in comparison in terms of sales and prestige.

And it's true, they're are similarities but also enough differences to make them vital in their own right and of course they provided us with a cracking album in 'Power Plant'...great cover too!
