Spread Eagle

Spread Eagle were one of many metal/hard rock bands that sprung to life in the late eighties and early nineties, the kind of band usually labelled heavy metal by the masses but hard rock (or even hair metal, though these guys didn't quite fit that bill) by less commercial-minded metal fans. With a style that to these ears most closely resembled Guns'n'Roses, there seemed to be potential here, but it never quite materialized, with the lack of record label support often cited as one reason. In any case, they were done after two albums, though a new lineup materialized in 2006 and, as of this writing (June 2012) may yet record again.
