Info:
One of the Sunset Strip's most infamous bands has returned, some 17 years after their last album! But when people think of the whole Sunset rock movement, the first thing that comes to mind is hairspray and make-up. But Shark Island predated those gimmicks, forming as the Sharks way back in 1979. Since that time they innovated, impressed, influenced (legend has it Axl Rose stole all his stage moves from Richard Black) and then disappeared.
So how does Shark Island sound after such a lengthy layoff? Excellent! But it wouldn't be completely fair to say they have returned with their classic sound, because as many die hard Shark Island fans will notice, these songs have been circulating amongst demo traders for years and years. That's right, the boys have released a collection of rerecorded tracks that have been lying dormant for a decade. But that isn't so bad, as those old demos contained some of their best work and it is great to hear them polished up.
