TRACKLIST:
Band : Stiff Country : USA Release : Straight Up Year : 1987 Genre : Hard Rock File Info : mp3 320 Info:
Formed in 1982 by guitarist Jon Ster and bassist Rob Steimle, STIFF's
line-up wasn't stabilized until the arrival of vocalist Ron Taylor in
1984 and the duo of drummer Kenny Sizelove and ex SWEET SAVAGE guitarist
Mikel Scott a year later.
two track demo emerged in 1986 featuring
'Dancer' and 'So Far Away' before the release of the 'Straight Up' mini
album a year later that featured a cover of GIRL's 'My Number' and a
guest appearance from DIO guitarist Craig Goldie.
But Taylor felt
that STIFF were not progressing fast enough for his liking and, having
continually attempted to get his friend Stevie Blaze from the New
Orleans outfit LILLIAN AXE to join the ranks, when Blaze suggested
Taylor should join his band the singer couldn't resist.Combining the
dirty rock & roll of the Stones, Sweet, Slade, with the metal
undertones of 80's metal ala Motley Crue and the almost unmatched dual
pop metal harmonies of Taylor & Ster, STIFF seemed poised for
stardom in 1986. However, to the great dismay of their legions of fans
STIFF disbanded in 1987 when Ron Taylor, Rob Stratton & Jon Ster
joined the New Orleans act Lillian Axe.
