Eric Steel

The band Eric Steel (not named for anyone in the band) enjoyed some middling success in the Midwest during their run in the mid-eighties to early nineties. They signed to the then-hot Megaforce label for their first album, but that album was released on a Megaforce sub-label called Avalanche and neither the band nor the album seemed to get any press at all. Over the space of the next several years two more albums were put out on various labels. Their sound, at least on the middle album Infectious, was blue-collar hard rock/metal, not terribly imaginative, and though perhaps decent in its day, rather dated when listened to fifteen years later.
