History & Biography
Not to be confused with the better-known Canadians featuring members of Heart and Sheriff, these guys originated from Florida in 1986 after going by Blitz for two years. Len Jarrell had joined the new monicker as of 1986. The band was influenced by Dokken and Scorpions and had come together from different cover bands like Livewire. Mark Borgmeyer was on second guitar for a while. Opening slots included supporting Ace Frehley and White Lion. The band can be heard on samplers like Iron Tyrants II and a New Renaissance compilation from the ‘80s. Hayden sang on the second album.

The band was again together in the late ‘90s hoping to record new material and release an older live recording. Retrospect rereleased the debut album in 2010. The band was invited to play Rocklahoma in 2011. Len, who lived in Dallas, Texas now, was back on vocals. MVD reissued the two albums in 2017 and 2018. Len Jarrell died in 2024.
