Info:
Adam would record the infamous 'In Your Face' album with the Brad Sinsel led TKO, but by the time it was released the guitarist had long since quit the ranks in order to pursue a solo career. Brenner would lead an increasingly colourful career, pulling in private guitar lessons with Eddie Van Halen and auditioning for KISS whilst still in his teens. Having relocated to Los Angeles in 1982, and sharing an apartment with guitarist Jeff Isabelle (IZZY STRADLIN' of GUNS N' ROSES), Brenner's neighbour, BLACK N' BLUE guitarist Tommy Thayer, suggested a name change to 'Adam Bomb'.
1983 found Brenner performing in Hollywood with a reformed TKO and filling in with Ron Keel's STEELER for a departed YNGWIE MALMSTEEN. Gaining a deal with JVC Victor in Japan, Brenner's 'Fatal Attraction' debut album had been recorded with Hawaii based producer Rick Keefer. Keefer had previously produced TKO's 'In Your Face'. Released in 1984, the album was recorded with a guest appearance on the track 'I Want My Heavy Metal' from AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams, this track also being featured in a Danny Johnson directed video. Although Brenner supplied the majority of the instrumentation, drum tracks were played by either ex-SAMMY HAGAR man Chuck Ruff or ex-MAYDAY drummer Gregg Gerson. The latter individual was to later enjoy spells with the New York Sleaze band SKIN AND BONES and then Canadians SVEN GALI.
Having gained management from the Leber/Krebs organisation, Adam Bomb signed an American deal with Geffen Records. The 'Fatal Attraction' album was re-issued in 1985 with a different running order, with two tracks remixed and the addition of 'SST' and a cover of MOTT THE HOOPLE's 'All The Young Dudes'. A touring band was duly assembled featuring former AEROSMITH guitarist Jimmy Crespo and the ex-RIOT rhythm team of bassist Phil Feit and drummer Sandy Slavin.
Another deal with Geffen was hardly lengthy. Brenner recorded a second album in London, originally titled 'Dangerous When Lit', that would ultimately surface through the British independent label Heavy Metal Records' FM Revolver imprint. Whilst recording this album, Brenner took time out to guest session on a STEEL PULSE record, appearing on the Reggae band's cut 'Hijacking'.
1987 found Brenner recruiting the BILLY SQUIER credited Bobby Chouinard on drums for touring across Canada and France. That year the guitarist also donated two guest guitar solos to BLACK N' BLUE's 'Without Love' album. More touring had the band traversing Europe and supporting LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH in the USA. 1988 UK gigs found the rhythm section from LAST OF THE TEENAGE IDOLS being drafted to form up an ad hoc band unit. Relocating to Sweden, Brenner undertook a ten week residency at the Pipeline Club with NEW YORK DOLLS guitarist JOHNNY THUNDERS. Further gigs in North America and France closed the year.
