The production job courtesy of Aldo Lonobile, is considerably cleaner than before, giving the performances much better clarity.

Spread Eagle – Subway To The Stars


I love Metal music, my name is Skullgurl Metalchick after all. Full disclosure, I am still a sucker for the music of the Glam Metal days. The sub-genre had many aliases, Hair- Metal, Cock Rock, Bubble Gum Rock, depending on who you ask.
