LOVE / HATE
1990 - Blackout In The Red Room.
way more Helter Skelter.

February 22, 1990 - 2025: 35 years of: Blackout In The Red Room.

Love hate L.A.

A new decade is upon us. Tired of the big hair and the Harleys, 1990's calendar-year is the dawn a new age. Hardrock gets shoved on the wildside. Approve / disapprove, this is an immediate situation of LOVE / HATE.

Metal to the core, the "Blackout In The Red Room" crunch is blunt and brutal. Loud and obnoxious, more high-gain pain is spewed by the dominant "Rock Queen" and the punk you fuck you of "Straightjacket" ...the scene had a reason to be scared again. Thrashy attitude oozes outta the "Tumbleweed", while the scene-shaker "Why Do You Think They Call It Dope ?" cracks skulls with it's arenarock feel and underground attack.

Love 'em or hate 'em, too fast for love for Sunset Strip, this is neo street ass-kickin'

The metalized-hardrock wave initiated by SKID ROW, EXTREME and SLAUGHTER, displayed modern hardrock with cutting-edge ultra guitars and chest pounding drums ...and by 1992, even the Godfathers of KISS would hail their revenge.

Still bad boys and still livin' on the fringe of decency, LOVE / HATE would provide a reality check with 1992's Wasted In America CD ...sadly lost in a sea of flanels.
