Shoulda been huge. What a dirty sleazy sound these guys had. Awesome vocals too. I loved Motley Crue back in the day, but seriously - where is the justice?
These guys blew Motley Crue off the map. Fate is weird, and almost never just. The fact that a band like Motley Crue became huge mega stars and TKO remained in obscurity speaks volumes on how short-sighted the music industry is. “In Your Face” is a one of a kind album. Raw, gritty, gut-punching hard rock that really kind of transcends metal. It almost foreshadowed grunge in a way, which is fitting since they were from Seattle. Recorded in ‘81 and not released until ‘84, and by then they had a different lineup than the one shown and heard here.
Why “surprisingly”? Is it the album cover? Because honestly, if I had seen the album first before listening to it, I probably wouldn’t have bothered. That album cover is terrible. Makes them look like a joke, and that’s a shame since the music is so damn good.
nothing surprising about it , an all time classic lp . this is the remixed version that was released officially ,the original song (minus keyboard) is available from metal mayhem records on 'in your face up your **s ' cd
Man this brings back some memorize, this was the mid 80's. Hard to believe this is like 25yrs ago.
just brilliant...

surprisingly, the album this track is from - "in your face" is very very good indeed.
Well worth looking for.
