- Here's another rare awesome video by a band I don't really know anything about. It was in my collection from my old SKY tapes, the quality is really good, I remastered the audio from the original 1st CD pressing of the 1987 Self Titled CD so it sounds better than the original audio. Apparently this video never aired in the United States, it was never shown on Headbangers Ball or MTV2.
If anyone can give some more information about this band, feel free to post some comments. All I know is that they are from Finland and they are currently split-up, as of 1991.
I noticed this wasn't on UA-cam at all, so here it is.
Enjoy!

I saw it once on a small promotional tour through Germany in a small club with about 30 guests. Since memories.
saw these guys in a tiny pub in fulham....
surprised they never made the big time...
It got played in 1988 on a program called the power hour I remember it well
The lead guitarist Ben Granfelt also played in Wishbone Ash.
And with his own band he is my client in our booking agency now. Cool guy
Line up (taken from Wiki):

One of my favourite bands in the eighties :)

Hey man. This is pretty awesome man!!! Cool oldskool hard rock sound !!
I actually used to have an audio cassette of this band some years back. I don't know why but I always thought the lead singer sounded like Lenny Kravitz for some reason.
I love it never heard of these cats before they kick ass!
Are u alive bro
Amazing thanx for sharing
Hello from the Czech Republic. I love this song but it was better live video.
Ben Granfeld has played in Guitar Slingers and in Leningrad Cowboys too..
Wishbone Ash as well. When he left he was replaced with Muddy!!
PLEASE/POR FAVOR: ¿de que MES es este disco?/¿Date of Released, MONTH?
Western hard rock featuring Richard Johnson on vocals - a top quality group in every respect. The band getting an international recording deal in '88 was a big piece of news in the Finnish media at the time. Despite innumerable attempts not a single Finnish pop or rock group had really made it big outside of Finland back then. This shameful state of affairs had tormented Finnish music journalists for years to such an extent that they had managed to make it look like a question of national pride. All bets were placed on Gringos Locos and the band did more than ok but not well enough to bring relief to journalists simmering in self-pity. Later on Johnson has sung in e.g. Project Forever and guitarist Ben Granfelt has recorded a bunch of solo albums. Both Johnson and Granfelt are members of Leningrad Cowboys.
