ROMEO'S DAUGTHER - S/t (Released 1988, Jive Records)

After an advert placed in Melody Maker this british guys decided to enroll Leigh Matty as lead singer back in '85 but it wasn't 'till '87 when the band signed a deal for their first release. Was '88 when Romeo's Daugther released their debut S/t album with the help in producing and songwriting by Robert John "Mutt" Lange (Def Leppard, Bryan Adams, AC/DC, Shania Twain...). Though the album didn't enjoy much success is full of good tracks and prove to this is that none less than three cut has been covered by important artists, Wild Child covered by Heart, Heaven In The Back Seat covered by Eddie Money and Cry Myself To Sleep At Night covered by Chrissy Steele and by Bonnie Tyler. The album reached a sad USA # 191 while their fisrt single Don't Break My Heart reached Billboard Hot 100 # 73.

The band released a second album in 1993 entitled Delectable and almost 20 years later (March 27, 2012) they've just release a new album called Rapture. This new album is full of good and elegant melodies while the sound it's in a more pop/rock vein with some acoustical touches and even some raw guitars... very interesting return by this band.
