The Front - S/T 1989

The Front is a band that I don't hear much of. Back in the late 80's I remember when the video for their song "Fire" hit MTV, I went out and got the album right away. I thought it had a cool quasi-psychedelic rock vibe to it. A mix of The Doors, Billy Idol, and at moments tinges of the The Cult.



There is a playlist for the whole album:

Joined the forum so I could comment on this post. One of my favourite albums which I own three copies of for some strange reason. They followed this up with an equally impressive album but they changed the band name to Bakers Pink. Not a great career move.

There was a live album released a couple of years ago but I have yet to purchase. Pretty sure it's on iTunes.

I read about the name change on Wikipedia. It seems like it was label pressure, but agree it sounded stupid even for that era.

Never heard of them but digging their sound.

They are from Kansas City, Missouri. Which is where I am from/live.
Here is an ad, also the band YLD pronounced wild is from Kansas City.
I believe I went to this concert. I cut this out and scanned it. It's from 1989.

I love looking at old flyers for concerts. I have some from when I lived in South Florida. They are for the only Christian rock/metal club we had down there.
