Fifth Angel

Fifth Angel played mainstream hard rock/metal, ultimately becoming yet another band in the "decent following but no superstardom" category, though they did manage a major label contract for their second album in 1989. Notable for supplying the theme music for Howard Stern's old TV show of several years ago, as well as launching the career of guitarist James Byrd's solo career, who later several albums on the Shrapnel label. They did reunite for a time around 2010 but it appears they are no more.
